Abstract
To summarize briefly, we can say that Kala-Azar should no longer be considered rare in our country, and Kala-Azar should always be considered in patients with irregular fever, anemia, and splenomegaly. Ultimately, the first thing that comes to mind in such a case will be malaria. If no plasmodial infection is found during examinations, or if malaria treatment is ineffective, the use of formol-gel should be considered.
However, considering that this test is not specific, splenic or sternum puncture should be performed, which provides a definitive diagnosis in both positive and, especially, negative cases. Early diagnosis is the key to effective treatment.

Abstract
Şimdi az kelime ile hülâsa etmek istersek diyeceğiz ki Kala - Azar
menileketimizde artık nadirattan sayılmamalıdır, ve intizamsız ateş,
anemi ve splenomegalisi olan hastaların karşısında daima Kala - Azar
göz önünde tutulmalıdır. Bitabi böyle bir vak'a ile aklımıza gelecek olan
ilk şey, malarya olacaktır, Yapılan muayenelerde plasmodi bulunmazsa, yahut malarya tedavisi neticesiz kalırsa, formol-gel teamülünü
yapmak lâzımdır.
Mamafih bu teamülün spesifik olmadığını düşünerek, gerek müspet
ve bilhassa menfi vak'alarda kat'i teşhise götüren dalak yahut sternat
ponksyona müracaat edilmelidir. Erken teşhis tedavi muvaffakiyetini
teşkil eder.
