  abstract = {<p>Erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) is an immunological complication of leprosy seen in 50% of lepromatous and 10% of borderline lepromatous leprosy. It usually presents as a multisystem disease with papulo-nodular skin lesions and fever. Arthralgia or arthritis is a common initial presentation of erythema nodosum leprosum. Pure rheumatologic presentation of lepromatous leprosy complicated by erythema nodosum leprosum is extremely rare, mimics connective tissue disease and is treated with steroids.</p>
