In the early diagnosis, the spectrum for most of the children is reported to be largely confined to tuberculoid (TT), borderline tuberculoid (BT), mid-borderline (BB), and indeterminate forms of leprosy. We report a one-year-old female infant presenting numerous erythematous papules on her labium majus and pale flat macules on her chin and right cheek for about four months. A biopsy revealed changes typical for lepromatous leprosy (LL). Infantile leprosy and the route of transmission are discussed here.</p>  a0041-4301
