Abstract
A 44-year-old man with a HIV infection and levels of CD4 < 100/mm3, under antiretroviral therapy and with a previous medical history of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), was admitted to hospital with progressive muscular weakness and paraesthesia in both legs for three months. Imaging procedures were performed, showing a leptomeningeal thickening and enlargement of hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes.
