> Dear All,

> I am not an immunologist but I have an opinion that I would like to share; splenectomy cures patients with Visceral Leishmaniasis.

> large masses of Leishmania in case of visceral Leishmaniasis is  existed in reticuloendothelial system including spleen. Removal of spleen will remove huge masses of the parasite infected cells. In cases of serious splenomegaly and cytopenia, spelenectomy become a good option.
