Abstract
A 35-year-old man with borderline tuberculoid leprosy developed Type I lepra reaction 12 days after anti-leprosy treatment. There was acute worsening of neuropathic symptoms and skin lesions. He developed severe sensory ataxia and pseudoathetosis resulting in marked disability. His symptoms significantly improved on corticosteroid therapy.
