چکیده
Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is a vector-borne zoonosis endemic in Southern Italy whose usual clinical features include fever, splenomegaly, pancytopenia and hypergammaglobulinemia.

We describe a VL case in a patient whose spleen had been removed and who had Common Variable Immunodeficiency and Evans syndrome.
