Abstract EN
Occurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis with leprosy is known but association of cutaneous tuberculosis with leprosy is rare.
We report a case of borderline lepromatous leprosy coexistent with tuberculosis verrucosa cutis in a 29-year-old male, who presented with multiple skin coloured nodules and hyperkeratotic scaly lesions of 3-month duration.
Dual infections are associated with high mortality and morbidity.
Therefore early diagnosis and management helps to reduce mortality and to mitigate the effects of morbidity.
