Two cases of imported visceral leishmaniasis are described. The first patient was a 32-year-old Czech man who developed leishmaniasis 5 months after a holiday in Italy (Bibione). The second patient was a 62-year-old Czech man who developed leishmaniasis 18 months after visiting Croatia (Makarska); the disease began after a course of chemotherapy due to metastasizing testicular tumor. Both patients were successfully treated with amphotericin B lipid complex (Abelcet). Difficulties in establishing the correct diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis are discussed.
