Ref.: Acute abdomen in lepromatous (LL) leprosy. Request of information.
From: E Peton, Capital Federal, Argentina
Dear Dr Noto,
I am a resident physician from an hospital in Argentina. The last week a lepromatous patient was operated by an acute abdomen. Nothing was found in the surgery, except a reddish discoloration of the colon (see attached picture). I would like knowing if you have information about similar cases?
I hope in your answer. Thanks a lot in advance.
