  abstract = {<p>Two children (age 3 years) presented with leprosy in endemic area: one was type T (tuberculoid paucibacillary); the other was type BL (borderline lepromatous) considering a very fast evolution, and was treated as a multibacillary leprosy. The family of the second child reported that the onset of the disease was consecutive to an insect bite at 5 1/2 months of age. Such observations remind us that leprosy must be suspected or thought about very early since the incubation period is likely to be shorter than previously proclaimed.</p>},
