The impact of leprosy and HIV co-infection is an evolving picture. Surprisingly the outcomes that were feared, of more lepromatous disease has not materialised. But with the roll-out of antiretroviral therapy, the emergence of leprosy as Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome is re-focusing attention on the characteristics of this important co-infection.
