    Multibacillary Leprosy in an 1 8-month-old Child: a case report
    (Leprosy review, 1984) Nsibambi, J.; Berhan, T.Y.; Diepen, T. Warndorff van
    A case of multibacillary leprosy, proven on slit-skin smears and skin biopsy, is reported in a child aged 18 months in Ethiopia. The father and 2 other children were not available for examination, but the mother was a registered case of mid-borderline (BB) leprosy of 5 years' duration. The clinical, bacteriological and histopathological findings are described and discussed in relation to the accepted incubation period of leprosy and the possibility of intra-uterine infection.
