Abstract: We share a case of a 54-year-old Caucasian immune-competent male with a suspected long latent visceral leishmaniasis presenting primarily with parasitic colitis, splenomegaly, and pancytopenia. Due to histopathologically and endoscopically mimicking ulcerative colitis, the patient was initially treated for UC, until the parasites were identified and eradicated with liposomal Amphotericin B.
