The patients were five men between the ages of 18 and 45 years. The five patients presented with skin lesions; three patients with hypopigmented skin lesions, one with skin macules and a history of leprosy, and one with papular lesions. In one patient, there was bilateral "claw hands." Histologically, two cases were categorized as lepromatous leprosy, two as borderline tuberculoid, and one as borderline lepromatous. Follow-up information obtained in the five patients showed one patient had died, and the remaining four patients were alive and receiving antileprosy treatment.</p>  a0893-3952
