Leprosy in a Texan.
Abstract
A 69-year-old man from Texas with an unremarkable past medical history presented with a 2-year history of a diffuse, spreading annular eruption involving most of his trunk. He noticed progressive numbness of his hands and feet but no other systemic symptoms. He had never traveled outside of the United States. Skin biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of leprosy, and he was initiated on appropriate therapy.
