Abstract: Kala-azar is a common condition prevalent in several parts of India.
The typical clinical presentation includes fever, gross emaciation, anemia,
hepatosplenomegaly. Several other clinical patterns of involvement have been
identified. We report a case of visceral leishmaniasis with bilateral parotid
swelling, an association hitherto unreported in literature.
