Leishmania interaction with an osteoclast
Tóm tắt
Visceral leishmaniasis is caused by an intracellular protozoan parasite, Leishmania donovani. Frequently, a bone marrow aspirate can confirm the diagnosis by showing intracellular forms of Leishmania amastigotes in macrophages. Here we present a unusual interaction of Leishmania with an osteoclast in the bone marrow.
