Özet

Standard treatments for visceral leishmaniasis ( antimonials, amphotericin B and pentamidine) pose several problems. Failure of antimonials or severe toxicity is particularly troublesome in patients with renal insufficiency. We report a case of visceral leishmaniasis and renal insufficiency successfully treated with fluconazole and allopurinol for 4 months.
