Abstract
- ary We present a case of erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) reaction with dse alveolar haemorrhage (DAH) in a patient who completely recovered with pulsed methylprednisolone. Our case illustrates that ENL could be a predisposing factor for DAH and a high dose of corticosteroid plays an important role in successfully treating such a patient.
