Abstract
Liver parenchymal cell parasitism with the amastigotes form ofL. donovani was detected by electron microscopy in human visceral leishmaniasis. Endocytosis was considered to be the mechanism by which the leishmania entered the cell. Evidence of well preserved parasites within hepatocytes suggest this parasitism as a possible reservoir for recrudescence.Keywords
