ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Leprosy is a multisystemic infectious disease showing various cutaneous manifestations by the reaction between Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae) and host immunity. We de-scribe a 20-year-old woman with clinical multiple papulonecrotic skin eruptions resembling papulonecrotic tuberculid (PNT) and pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA). This kind of skin eruption is a new manifestation which has not been reported so far in lepromatous leprosy (LL).
