Ref.: Has clofazimine resistance seen to develop in a patient?
From: H J Kawuma, Jinja, Uganda
Dear Dr Noto,
I refer to Dr Warren’s message dated LML Sept. 29th, 2010. I am not aware of any other report of clofazimine resistant leprosy in a patient apart from the one published by Titia Warndorff in an Ethiopian patient in 1982. This was published as a case report in the International Journal of Leprosy:- “Titia Warndorff-van Dieden, “Clofazimine-resistant leprosy, a case report” International journal of leprosy and other mycobacterial diseases, volume 50, number 2 June 1982.”
In that case (which I was privileged to see), there was only the clinical evidence to go by.
Best regards,
Best regards,
