		Lepromatous Leprosy and Charcot Neuroarthropathy of Insensate Feet: A Case Report.
Abstract
        Leprosy is a chronic infection of the skin, eyes, and peripheral nerves due to the slow-growing, acid-fast bacillus . Devastating complications include Charcot neuroarthropathy and insensate hands and feet. We present the case of an 81-year-old female with rheumatoid arthritis and 50 years of polar lepromatous leprosy who suffered from bilateral collapsed arches, flat feet, and bone deformities of Charcot feet.
