[A case of leishmaniasis in intensive care].
A case is presented of severe visceral leishmaniasis initially misdiagnosed owing to the old age of the patient and the contemporary presence of a carcinoma of the sigmoid. Admitted in ICU for severe post operative cardiorespiratory failure. During ICU stay the patients presented a bilateral pneumothorax and a long QT syndrome, presumably due to antimonials.
