英文摘要	Objective. The authors retrospectively studied the epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of 71 cases of visceral leishmaniasis from 1998 to 2009. Population and methods. The diagnosis was made by finding Leishmania amastigotes in bone marrows smears and/or by serology. Results. Most cases occur in winter (35.2%) and in spring (36.6%). The source areas are endemic ones located in the north of Algeria (74.6%) and more rarely arid or semi-arid climate areas (8.4%). 88.7% of patients are children. The sex ratio is 1.53. The clinical characteristics are: fever (77.4%), paleness (43.6%); splenomegaly (83%), hepatomegaly (57.7%). The biological anomalies are: anemia (56.3%), thrombocytopenia (33.8%), and leucopenia (28.1%). N-methylglucamine (Glucantime (R)) was most often prescribed (70.4%). Four deaths (5.6%) were recorded. Conclusion. Visceral leishmaniasis remains a pediatric affection but does not spare adults. (C) 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
