Abstract
Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis is usually a sequel to
visceral leishmaniasis. A 25-year-old woman presented with
hypopigmented maculopapular lesions all over the body for
the past 4 years without any previous history of visceral
leishmaniasis. She was on treatment for leprosy and pulmonary
tuberculosis for the past 2 months, but did not show any improvement. Investigations confirmed that she had post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis associated with pulmonary tuberculosis and HIV-1 infection. She was started on treatment for the triad of diseases, and showed improvement.
