Study design: Case Report
Abstract: It is well known that leprosy and tuberculosis (TB) both have similar regional endemicities. If a co-infection does occur, it can be quite challenging to treat. Despite some degree of cross-immunity between the two species, dual mycobacterial infections still happen although the incidence is quite low.(1) Here we report a rare case of tubercular lymphadenitis with Hansen's disease (leprosy).
