The patient is a 9-year-old girl from Qingyuan County [Hebei
Province]. After birth she moved with her parents to Gansu's Dangchang
County. On [8 Nov 2014], she entered No. 1 Hospital due to high fever.

ProMED-mail Rapporteur Dan Silver
[Baoding City is located approximately 150 kilometers [approx. 93
miles] southwest of Beijing in Hebei Province. The climatic conditions
do not support transmission of leishmaniasis. Leishmaniasis has been
reported from Gansu Province, with an estimated annual incidence of
3.8 cases per 100 000 population (Zhang S et al. Incidence of Japanese
encephalitis, visceral leishmaniasis and malaria before and after the
Wenchuan earthquake, in China. Acta Trop. 2013;128:85-9). This could
be the place where the patient was infected. - Mod.EP]
