Abstract: 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 leishmaniaisis and renal insufficiency successfully treated with fluconazole and allopurinol for 4 months. © 2006 Taylor & Francis.
