Abstract

ABSTRACT A 43-year-old woman of Mayan origin from Quintana Roo, Mexico, was diagnosed with diffuse lepromatous leprosy. The etiologic bacillus was determined to be Mycobacterium lepromatosis instead of Mycobacterium leprae . This case likely represents the first report of this leprosy form and its agent in the southeastern tip of Mexico.
