Abstract

Hansen's disease (HD) is one of the major infectious diseases in the world with an estimated total of 12 million cases. Physicians in North America, however, rarely see HD or its manifestations. Hematological manifestations of HD have been reported but are not well appreciated. We report a patient with leukopenia while under treatment for active HD who demonstrated mycobacterial involvement of the bone marrow.
