AB - Leprosy is a unique infectious disease due to varied spectrum of clinical signs it exhibits. Pure neural leprosy
(PNL) is an unusual form of leprosy and accounts for 4-8% of all leprosy cases. It can manifest as a simple
tingling sensation to complex and tragic motor paralysis. Here we report a case of PNL involving isolated
cutaneous radial nerve as multiple abscesses along the course of the nerve. To the best of our knowledge, this
is rarest presentation of pure neural leprosy.
