Abstract
A preliminary report is presented on the finding in a patient with lepromatous leprosy relapsing after maintaining clinical inactivity and bacterial negativity with dapsone monotherapy for a period of 23 years. Interestingly, Mycobacterium leprae from the fresh skin lesions revealed resistance to both clofazimine and dapsone by standard mouse foot pad testing.
