Reactional leprosy is a clinical modality of acute and sub-acute presentation which is local or general, expression of an immunological phenomenon that occurs in the natural history of the disease. It can arise in almost the 30% of the multibacillary, lepromatous and dimorphous patients. In this current study a case of forty four-year-old male patient diagnosed as lepromatous leprosy was reported. The patient presented an exacerbated presentation of the clinical chart with disseminated and infiltrated nodules corresponding to a type-2 reactional leprosy and erythema nodosum leprosum.
