text: Yo, listen up, I got a story to tell
  'Bout Leishmania infantum and the Maltese archipelago, oh, it's swell
  These islands in the Mediterranean, tourists from the North
  Frequent visitors, but there's somethin' they brought forth
  
  Leishmaniasis, it's a burden, especially for the young
  Children below 14, they're the ones among
  Manifestations, cutaneous or visceral, it's a fight
  Let me break it down for you, from day to night
  
  From 2004 to 2008, in Malta, it went down
  Histopathological diagnosis, spreadin' 'round town
  Eleven kids got hit, yeah, it was tough
  Eight with visceral disease, three with cutaneous stuff
  
  Visceralisation, it came with a show
  High-grade fever, pallor, hepatosplenomegaly, yo
  Pancytopenia, it wasn't no joke
  These symptoms, they be heavy, had the children broke
  
  Diagnosis, visualisation of amastigotes, that's the key
  Bone marrow aspirates, that's how they see
  Treatment, antimonials failed in two, no luck
  But liposomal amphotericin B, it came and struck
  
  It was curative, a savior for all
  Them kids got healed, standin' tall
  Cutaneous leishmaniasis, lesions on display
  Dry, crusted ulcero-nodular, but there's a way
  
  Intra-lesional instillation, sodium stibogluconate, that's the choice
  Or cryotherapy, makin' lesions rejoice
  Fever, hepatosplenomegaly, chronic cutaneous too
  When kids travel to Malta, leishmaniasis, they gotta go through
  
  So remember this tale, 'bout Leishmania infantum
  In the Maltese archipelago, where it's never dumb
  Visceral or cutaneous, it's a challenge for the youth
  But with proper diagnosis and treatment, they'll find the truth.
