A patient with tuberculoid leprosy and chronic renal failure was given a renal allograft after 5 months of dapsone (DDS) treatment. The leprosy showed continued healing in spite of immunosuppression and was not a significant cause of morbidity. Tuberculoid leprosy does not appear to be a contraindication for renal transplantation.
