Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania (Trypanasomatid protozoans), and it is transmitted through the bite of sandflies. The disease is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions, but the number of affected patients, such as immunodeficient patients (HIV, transplantation and cancer patients) is increasing, especially in southern Europe and Africa. Leishmaniasis is classified into three major disease types: cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), mucocutaneus leishmaniasis (MCL) and visceral leishmaniasis (VL) or Kala-azar. Rare clinical presentations of VL include: bronchopulmonary, mediastinal, pregnancy, neurological and ocular manifestations. Although were reported rare cases of ocular leishmaniasis, to the best of our knowledge, a case of late-onset post-cataract endophthalmitis caused by Leishmania has not yet been described in the literature. In this article, we would like to present the cytomorphology of our case of postoperative late-onset endophthalmitis caused by Leishmania.

迟发性利什曼原虫眼内炎的细胞形态学：一例报告。

利什曼病是由利什曼原虫属（Trypanasomatid protozoans）的寄生虫引起的传染病，通过沙蝇叮咬传播。该病在热带和亚热带地区是地方病，但受影响的患者人数，例如免疫缺陷患者（HIV，移植和癌症患者）正在增加，尤其是在南欧和非洲。利什曼病分为三种主要疾病类型：皮肤利什曼病（CL），粘膜皮肤利什曼病（MCL）和内脏利什曼病（VL）或Kala-azar。VL的罕见临床表现包括：支气管肺，纵隔，妊娠，神经和眼部表现。尽管据报道很少发生眼利什曼病的病例，据我们所知，由利什曼原虫引起的迟发性白内障后眼内炎一例尚未在文献中描述。在本文中，我们将介绍利什曼原虫引起的术后迟发性眼内炎的病例的细胞形态学。
