Introduction: IL-6 cytokine participates in the inflammatory process of systemic leishmaniasis and elevated levels are associated with active disease. Case reports: Three patients with different age groups and different severity scores, above 4 were reported, and IL-6 plasma concentrations and their association with disease severity were observed. Conclusion: Analysis suggests that only the score, has no sensitivity to classify, among others critically ill patients, those with imminent risk of death. IL-6 concentrations can allow this differentiation, considering that only fatal case, HBV/Leishmania coinfection, presented expressively higher level of the cytokine concentration.

Estudo documental, retrospectivo, transversal, com abordagem quantitativa. Foi obtida uma amostra de 94 pacientes e a coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de um formulário semiestruturado contendo variáveis socioeconômicas e clínicas.Resultados: Identificou-se a incidência de 20,2% de pacientes com infecção hospitalar em pacientes com diagnóstico de leishmaniose visceral. As infecções de olhos, ouvidos, nariz, garganta e boca e a pneumonia foram as mais comuns no período estudado, totalizando 50% da amostra. Conclusão: Portanto, conclui-se que a LV, associada a uma IH, vem aumentando o seu número de casos em Montes Claros de forma a apresentar um alto perfil de cura dos pacientes estudados. Backgound and Objectives:The frequency of infectious process by Visceral Leishmaniasis (LV) reflects the increased susceptibility of the child to the hospital infections (IH). Thus, aimed to determine the incidence of nosocomial infection in children under 12 years admitted to a hospital north miner diagnosed with visceral leishmaniasis during January/2007 to December/2008. Method: Documentary research, retrospective, cross-sectional quantitative approach. A sample was obtained from 94 patients and data collection was performed using a standardized form, pre-coded, containing socioeconomic and clinical.Results: we identified the incidence of 20.2% of patients with nosocomial infection in patients with visceral leishmaniasis.Infections of eyes, ears, nose, throat and mouth and pneumonia were the most common during the study period, totaling 50% of the sample. Conclusion: Therefore, it is concluded that the LV associated with IH, has increased the number of cases in Montes Claros in order to present a high profile cure of the patients.

Visceral leishmaniasis is an opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients. Herein, we report a case of an adult male patient with a persistent fever of unknown origin, along with chronic hepatitis B. The patient underwent bone marrow aspiration twice, which revealed hemophagocytosis. Abdomen enhanced CT revealed splenomegaly with a persistent strengthening of multiple nodules, and hemangiomas were diagnosed. A subsequent 18-fluoro-deoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT scan, which was implemented to search for the reason for the fever, showed diffuse splenic disease uptake, and splenic lymphoma was considered as the diagnosis. His clinical symptoms improved after receiving hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) chemotherapy. However, the patient was readmitted for fever again only 2 months later. Splenectomy surgery is performed to confirm the diagnosis and classification of lymphoma. Visceral leishmaniasis was eventually diagnosed in a spleen specimen and the third bone marrow biopsy. He received treatment with lipid amphotericin B and remained recurrence-free for 1 year. In this paper, we aim to provide detailed information that will help further our understanding of the clinical symptoms and radiographic findings of visceral leishmaniasis.
