 You can't go wrong with visceral leishmaniasis. But kala-azar cannot be
forgotten, especially in countries of the Indian subcontinent where the term
was born and where I think it should stay! I think it should be reserved for
anthroponotic visceral leishmaniasis. Here in France where we have a few
dozen cases per year, we say leishmaniose viscerale.   But there is no
consensus.
