ABSTRACT
A 36 year-old woman immigrated from Nepal showed erythematous plaques on her face, buttock and legs one month after the immigration. Before the correct diagnosis was made, the patient had been erroneously treated as anallergic dermatitis for three months. Clinico-pathologically, her skin lesion was borderline lepromatous type leprosy with bacilli positive. We report the case to keep the high index of suspicion for leprosy when we meet with patients from the countries where leprosy is still epidemic.
