[Kala-azar with marked ferritinemia in a German school child].
We report on a case of visceral leishmaniasis acquired during a summer holiday in Spain. Apart from therapeutic aspects some mechanisms for the development of anaemia are discussed with regard to changes of the red blood cell counts, serum iron and ferritin concentrations measured before, during and after therapy.
