2 African patients (sisters) suffering from lepromatous leprosy had epidermodysplasia verruciformis. Both patients had in addition recalcitrant superficial fungal infections and extensive relapsing scabies. The question is raised whether a generalized impairment of cell-mediated immunity, found in lepromatous leprosy, predisposes towards other particularly viral infections.
