| Abstract |
|
A 73-year-old woman presented with progressive, symmetric distal dominant sensory change followed by motor weakness accompanied with multiple skin lesions. Neurologic examinations and electrophysiologic study revealed demyelinating polyneuropathy. Diagnosis of leprous neuropathy was made with skin biopsy. This rare presentation of leprosy indicates leprosy can be considered as differential diagnosis in patients with clinically evident progressive polyneuropathy. |
