TI  - Type 2 lepra reaction with HIV1 co-infection: a case report with interesting 
      management implications.
PG  - 103-6
AB  - A patient co-infected with leprosy and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-type 1 
      who developed type 2 lepra reaction in the absence of antiretroviral therapy is 
      presented. The reaction responded only after initiating anti retroviral therapy 
      (ART) despite normal CD4+ counts. The present report suggests that type 2 
      reactions in leprosy and HIV co-infected patients may not always be the typical 
      manifestation of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) and stresses 
      the importance of considering concomitant HIV infection in refractory lepra 
      reactions. Extensive research is required into the manifestations of HIV in 
      leprosy patients.
