Next-generation sequencing assisted diagnosis of a case of leprosy misdiagnosed as erythema multiforme

2022-05-18

Abstract excerpt

Backgroud: Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, mainly transmitted through the droplets from the nose and mouth of patients with untreated leprosy. Owing to no specific serological markers and clinical manifestations, leprosy can be easily confused with other skin lesion-related diseases and is difficult to distinguish. Case presentation: This study introduces and summarises the...
