Resumo: SUMMARY It is important to develop new methods for diagnosing relapses in the co-infection of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and HIV to enable earlier detection using less invasive methods. We report a case of a co-infected patient who had relapses after VL treatment, where the qualitative kDNA PCR showed a good performance. The kDNA PCR seems to be a useful tool for diagnosing VL and may be a good marker for predicting VL relapses after treatment of co-infected patients with clinical symptoms of the disease.

RESUMO É importante a pesquisa de novos métodos laboratoriais para o diagnóstico de recidivas em casos de co-infecção leishmaniose visceral (LV) e vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV), que permitam o diagnóstico precoce das recidivas, utilizando métodos menos invasivos. Descrevemos aqui, o caso de paciente co-infectada que apresentou recidivas após o tratamento da LV e onde a PCR qualitativa demonstrou bom desempenho. A kDNA PCR parece ser ferramenta útil para o diagnóstico de recidivas de LV após o tratamento em pacientes co-infectados com sintomas clínicos da doença. Universidade de São Paulo.
