  1. VL visceral leishmaniasis, OR odds ratio, 95% CI 95% confidence interval. Model 1 was adjusted for age, sex, duration of antiretroviral use, splenomegaly, and adenomegaly. Model 2 was adjusted for age, sex, duration of antiretroviral use, emaciation, edema, dehydration, general status, and paleness
