Leprosy and leishmaniasis

Ref.: Leprosy and leishmaniasis
From: Bryceson A., London, UK


Dear Salvatore,

I refer to Dr Villarreal’s messages. It is an interesting case. Ross Barnetson and I published eight cases of leprosy plus leishmaniasis from Ethiopia in 1978, so the coincidence might not be so rare in Bolivia, despite the lack of reported cases.

Barnetson RS, Bryceson AD. Cutaneous leishmaniasis and leprosy. Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg. 1978;72:160-163.

Best wishes
Anthony
