Summary: | This article describes a clinical case of lepromatous leprosy. Despite the sporadic incidence of leprosy in Russia, the presented clinical observation demonstrates that clinicians must maintain vigilance with regard to leprosy. Close attention and in-depth study of the history of the disease is required both in endemic and (in view of active migration and tourist flows) non-endemic regions, since timely diagnosis of this mycobacteriosis can present significant difficulties. |
