Implication

Case report highlights misdiagnosis of visceral leishmenia as multisystem inflammatory syndrome, suggesting broader diagnostic criteria.

Key Points

  • A female patient with fever and abdominal pain was initially diagnosed with MIS-C before being identified as having visceral leishmenia.
  • The patient's symptoms included meningeal irritation and multiple systemic involvements, falsely indicating MIS-C.
  • Further examinations revealed visceral leishmenia, emphasizing the need for careful differential diagnosis in similar cases.
  • This case underscores the complexities of diagnosing rare diseases that may mimic well-known syndromes like MIS-C.
