RESUMO

Intramonocytic leishmanias were unexpectedly observed in blood smears of a Spanish AIDS patient. In immunodepressed patients from exposed countries, careful microscopic examination of blood smears should be requested by the clinician in cases of prolonged fever, and biologists must be informed that leishmanias may be fortuitously observed in the peripheral blood.
