摘要：
Erythema nodosum leprosum is a type 3 hypersensitivity reaction that often presents with transient eruptions of red papules, plaques, and nodules. A 52 -year -old female presented with multiple joint pain that was being treated as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but through clinical examination, she was found to have Hansen's disease with a type 2 reaction. Hence, the importance of a thorough clinical examination is a must for the timely and correct diagnosis of patients suffering from Hansen's disease.
