Human immunodeficiency virus and leprosy--type 1 reactions, nerve damage and steroid therapy: 'a case report'.
In this study a 28-year-old female with both BL leprosy and HIV infections is discussed. Her clinical progress was followed until she completed MDT. During this period she developed recurrent reactional episodes, nerve damage and intercurrent illnesses--some of which might have been due to steroids.
