AB - <p>I have given the name autoaggressive hanseniasis to a syndrome with immunopathologic and clinical pictures resembling autoaggressive systemic diseases observed in some cases of lepromatous and borderline hanseniasis. It is probably caused by B cell stimulation by antigenic complex of Mycobacterium leprae plus autologous tissue, along with a dysfunction of the T-suppressor lymphocytes.</p>
