A 51-year old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus, presenting with recurrent episodes of bilateral anterior uveitis for five years, had also developed recurrent tender erythematous nodules and plaques over the extremities, abdomen and back. Evaluation ultimately confirmed lepromatous leprosy. After multidrug therapy and systemic corticosteroids, complete resolution of skin lesions and uveitis was maintained at 1-year follow-up, thus rescuing her eyesight.
