ABSTRACT
We report the occurrence of Immune Reconstitution InflammatorySyndrome (IRIS) after reversal of agranulocytosis provoked by drugor drugs used in the treatment of leprosy. After suspension of thedrugs under suspicion and the recovery of the hematologic disturbanceand as consequence the restoration of the immune conditionwe started an alternate treatment for Hansens disease. Takingthis case as an example, we propose that all patients with leprosyand under treatment with drugs such as dapsone and/ or rifampicinshould have a periodical hemogram to identify premature hematologicanomalies.
