Abstract: Lepra Reactions (LR) are inflammatory conditions with immune mediators that are highly morbid. Patients with the lepromatous end of the leprosy spectrum (BL-LL) are the only ones that develop type-2 LR. 90% of the time, it happens during or right after treatment, usually within two years. Here, we present a type-2 LR case. The sixty-year-old woman who was diagnosed with lepromatous leprosy (LL) after developing a hypopigmented skin lesion six months prior. She was treated twice at our hospital over the course of the previous six months after developing type-2 LR, which manifested as recurrent fever episodes, polyarthritis, erythema nodosum, and mononeuritis multiplex.
