| description | Leprosy is rarely seen in Taiwan. We herein report a foreign worker concomitantly with facial borderline tuberculoid leprosy presenting with trigeminal neuralgia.
A 26-year-old male foreign labor from Indonesia, presented with 1 year history of a hypoanaesthetic erythematous plaque of right face and subsequent 6 months constant, severe pain in the right side of his face over the nasolabial groove. Biopsies and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of leprosy. We treated the patient with a multidrug regimen including dapsone, clofazimine, and rifampine since April of 2012 with a good response.
We report a rare case of new-onset leprosy presenting with trigeminal neuralgia in Taiwan and suggest leprosy should be listed in the differential diagnosis of unusual skin manifestations and neuralgia. |
