<i>Leishmania</i> parasites shown in lymphoid organs.

<p>(A) Giemsa stained section 40× mag. of a lymph node from patient 11 showing intracellular leishman bodies (purple in color) in the center of the photograph (white arrow). (B) Indirect immunohistochemistry using Fluorescein-labeled secondary antibody (FITC) and anti-leishmania primary antibody on a splenic aspirate from patient 9. <i>Leishmania</i> parasites are evident as bright green entities (red arrows, 40× mag.).</p

Rates of occurrence of various symptoms.

<p>Some of the presenting symptoms were omitted <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0001782#pntd-0001782-t001" target="_blank">table 1</a> (when they were not the major complaint). However they were counted in the calculations of <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0001782#pntd-0001782-t002" target="_blank">table 2</a>.</p

<i>Leishmania</i> parasites shown on Skin Windows.

<p>(A) A normal Skin Window showing intracellular (white star) and extracellular clumps (doublets) of <i>Leishmania</i> parasites, oil immersion lens 100× mag. (B) A normal Skin Window showing four monocytes in motion with many amastigotes in their cytoplasm (white arrows), oil immersion lens 100× mag.</p
