Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) and leprosy are two age-old infections, which we are facing even today. With drug-resistant TB on the rise, we report a case of multidrug-resistant TB with leprosy, which has never been reported previously. The peculiar course of this case forces us to rethink about the upcoming challenges due to their cooccurrence.
