[Autochtonous kala-azar (author's transl)].
Kala-Azar or visceral "leishmanisis" is a Mediterranean parasitosis. Outside this area, the reported cases concern children having lived in an endemic area. Real autochtonous Kala-Azar is really exceptional in France. The authors report a case in a 18 month-old child, who had never left the city of Brest. The authors study similar observations in the literature, including an analysis of the different modes of transmission in such cases.
