dc.description.abstract
Leprosy, declared “eliminated” by WHO in 2000, persists globally with 165,459 cases recorded in 2022.[1] Leprosy in solid organ transplant recipients remains rare, with a few documented examples.[2,3] This case report explores the complex challenges in diagnosing and treating leprosy in solid organ transplantation, characterized by intricate polypharmacological treatments and immunomodulatory drugs.
A 56-year-old male, originally from Senegal but residing in Spain since 1996, presented to the dermatology department in november 2022 with multiple elastic nodules on his upper extremities and face [Figure 1]. These lesions persisted for two months without accompanying symptoms or loss of thermosensory sensitivity. The patient had a kidney transplant in 2014 due to interstitial nephropathy, necessitating ongoing immunosuppression with tacrolimus and sirolimus.
