Triple Infectious Syndrome: Pulmonary Tuberculosis and HIV in a Case of Pure Neuritic Leprosy With Underlying Diabetes Mellitus.

Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and leprosy are of public health importance, as all three diseases are communicable and contribute to disease burden in society. Co-infection with these three entities is extremely rare but leads to significant mortality and morbidity. We report a case that highlights the diagnostic challenges and therapeutic management of a patient who was diagnosed with pure neuritic leprosy on multibacillary-multidrug therapy (MB-MDT) and subsequently co-diagnosed with PTB and HIV.
