Hansen’s disease may occur simultaneously with several other infections, for example, Covid-19, HIV infection and AIDS, tuberculosis, leishmaniasis, hepatitis, and Chagas’ disease. It may also occur in people who are organ transplanted and/or on immunosuppressants. This chapter describes the clinical and laboratory aspects of these co-infections as well as in situations where there is drug immunosuppression.
