Ref.:  (LML) Clofazimine risk?

 

From:  R. Vijayaraghavan, Tamil Nadu, India

 

Dear Sir,

Thank you for the mail from Ruth Butlin from March 24, 2021.

I remember a 34 years old  patient with chronic ENL who had not any other medical condition and who had been on clofazamine for long period of time. He called me and said: "I have chest pain and shortness of breath, can I come to the leprosy clinic at ALERT?" On the way to our hospital he suddenly fell down and died. People called my number because his call number was mine. They asked on the phone:  "do you know this number? I said ' yes, he is my patient - please bring him to the hospital. They said, it is too late, he is already dead." Most probably he died of cardiac attack. May God rest his soul in heaven .
