Concurrent leprosy and HIV infection: a report of three cases.
Three cases of concurrent infection with HIV and leprosy are reported. One had developed borderline lepromatous leprosy one year after identifying HIV infection, while the other two had indeterminate leprosy and both conditions were identified at the same time in these two patients. All three cases showed satisfactory response to standard antileprosy multidrug therapy.
