Abstract

Two months after a vacation in Bosnia and at the Dalmatian coast, a 52-year-old Jugoslav male resident in Switzerland developed slowly progressive fever with arthralgia. Two months later his temperature became septic and his general condition deteriorated. After many wrong diagnostic tracks, six months after onset of the illness kala-azar was finally diagnosed. Treatment with Pentostam cured the disease completely.
