Visceral leishmaniasis with aplastic bonemarrow: coincidental or causal.
Acquired aplastic anaemia (AAA) is caused by aetiologies ranging from infectious agents, chemical toxins, drugs, and autoimmune disorders. Few reports exist which establish a causal association of parasites in AAA. Causal association of Leishmania donavani infection in AAA has not been reported to date.
