Abstract

autoantibodies Dermatology erythema nodosum leprosum leprosy Pathology rheumatism Rheumatology
Leprosy is an infectious disease that is associated with various types of presentations. Diagnosis of the disease can be tricky in cases of atypical presentations. We report a unique case of leprosy characterized by chronic hand swelling, dactylitis, and seropositive laboratory markers, which was diagnosed in a rheumatology clinic.
