title: FDG-PET/CT findings during immune reconstitution in an HIV-1 patient infected with visceral leishmaniasis.
abstract: Visceral leishmaniasis can rarely be unmasked by immune reconstitution in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1-infected patients. We report the first case of immune reconstitution associated with leishmaniasis in an HIV patient to be imaged with [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG/PET), at both baseline and after therapy.
