AB - <p>Hansen’s disease (HD), a chronic mycobacterial infection, primarily affects the skin and peripheral nerves. The neurocutaneous symptoms may be the initial presentation or may develop during or after the completion of therapy. However, not all neurological abnormalities in a diagnosed case can be implicated to HD. Through this case we highlight the importance of considering alternative causes and detailed evaluation for neurological impairments in such patients.</p>
