	abstract = {Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a well recognized opportunistic infection in immunosuppressed patients, which may cause febrile illness. We describe 4 renal transplant patients with VL in an endemic area in Brazil and their response to therapy. In 3 cases the diagnosis was confirmed by bone marrow aspirate that revealed the presence of Leishmania. In 1 case the bone marrow aspirate was inconclusive and the diagnosis was made through spleen biopsy that showed the presence of the parasite. VL needs to be considered as a cause of febrile illness in transplanted patients living in endemic areas.},
