Abstract

Lucio’s phenomenon is an atypical manifestation of leprosy, few cases have been described around the world, predominately in Mexico. It’s characterized by purpuric lesions and necrotic ulcerations of the skin, described as a vasculitis like condition. The clinical diagnosis is challenging in a non-endemic area. It’s potentially fatal. We report a case of Lucio’s phenomenon in a previously undiagnosed leprosy Moroccan patient whose acute manifestations were conductive to the leprosy’s diagnosis.

Keywords: Leprosy; Lucio’s phenomenon; Necrotic ulcerations
