Older patients referred for further investigation of pancytopenia is common in internal medicine and geriatric clinics and it is important to consider a wide range of underlying diagnoses. We present an unusual case of febrile pancytopenia in a nonagenarian who was diagnosed with visceral leishmaniasis. This is a rare and unusual diagnosis in nonagenarians, although the leishmaniasis is endemic on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. It is important to identify it because it is treatable and curable.
