Abstract

An unusual cutaneous relapse of visceral leishmaniasis (initially mistaken for eruptive histiocytomas) was seen in an AIDS patient despite good virological and CD4[sup +] T-cell responses to highly active antiretroviral therapy. Splenectomy and the patient's low CD8[sup +] T-cell count are discussed as possible causes of failed disease control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
