Abstract:
This article presents the diagnosis and treatment of a case with hemophagocytic syndrome secondary to visceral leishmaniasis. The patient had been misdiagnosed for a long period of time, and was finally definitively diagnosed as hemophagocytic syndrome secondary to visceral leishmaniasis through laboratory tests, bone marrow smear microscopy, and metagenomics next-generation sequencing. Due to unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy, the patient's family members decided to abandon treatment, and the patient subsequently died following discharge from hospital.
