Abstract
Variations in Leprosy Manifestations among HIV-Positive Patients, Manaus, Brazil
Highlights
Leprosy has a wide range of clinical manifestations, which sometimes imposes a clinical challenge and may lead to misdiagnosis [5]. These factors may have helped mask the true scenario of leprosy and HIV co-infection, in areas where these conditions are highly endemic
Case reports from referral centers that reflect the broad clinical aspects of leprosy and HIV co-occurrence are important to increase clinicians’ awareness of both diseases
We report 3 HIV-positive/AIDS patients who showed different clinical manifestations of leprosy; their conditions were diagnosed before and after highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) initiation
