Neuropathic Ulcers

Non-neuropathic ulcers in leprosy patients are infrequently seen, and atypical presentations are prone to misdiagnosis. We evaluated diagnosed cases of leprosy between January 2017 and January 2020 for the presence of cutaneous ulceration, Ridley–Jopling subtype of leprosy, reactions and histologic features of these ulcerations. Treatment was given as WHO recommended multi-bacillary multi-drug therapy. We found 17/386 leprosy patients with non-neuropathic ulcers. We describe three causes – spontaneous cutaneous ulceration in lepromatous leprosy (one nodular and one diffuse), lepra reactions (five patients with type 1; nine with type 2, further categorised into ulcerated Sweet syndrome-like who also had pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia, pustulo-necrotic and necrotic erythema nodosum leprosum) and Lucio phenomenon (one patient). Our series draws attention towards the different faces of non-neuropathic ulcers in leprosy, including some atypical and novel presentations.

Syphilis Serology

Syphilis has received its classical designation as one of “the great imitators,” reflecting a wide variety of symptoms and presentations, which can cause difficulties in diagnosis. Here we report an unusual case of secondary syphilis in a person with acute necrotizing tonsillitis and Sweet syndrome. A 33-year-old female presented with fever, bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy, tonsillar enlargements with ulcerated pus-filled lesions on the right tonsil, and multiple pseudovesicular, mammillated, edematous plaques on her neck, face, and extremities. Syphilis serology was positive and a skin biopsy demonstrated a neutrophil-rich dermatitis characteristic of Sweet syndrome. The association of <i>Treponema pallidum</i> infection with Sweet syndrome may be a coincidence; nevertheless, our case serves as a reminder that secondary syphilis should remain in the differential diagnosis of the acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis.
