Ref.: Leprosy and mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis
From: Villarreal Olaya M. E., La Paz, Bolivia


Dear Dr. Noto,
I have a 33 years old patient with multibacillary (MB) leprosy. His bacteriological index (BI) is 3+ and disability grade 2. He has also mucocutáneus Leishmaniasis with nose involvement. Five years ago he received Glucantime for 20 days.
I would really appreciate comments and suggestions from people with more experience. For e.g. what treatment do I begin first?
Thank you very much. Dra. M. E. Villarreal O.
