ABSTRACT.
Leprosy is a chronic infection caused by Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis that preferentially compromises peripheral nerve, skin, and mucous membranes. Colombia achieved the goal of leprosy elimination in 1997. However, in Urabá (Colombia), there has been an increase in leprosy cases beginning in 2020. This case report shows a leprosy relapse 5 decades after the initial infection debuted as a necrotizing erythema nodosum leprosum. Therefore, long-term follow-up of patients with risk factors for relapse is emphasized, especially those treated before the standard of multidrug therapy (dapsone, clofazimine, and rifampin). This case report stresses the importance the importance of clinical follow-up and surveillance of patients with these events of interest for the public health.
