Purpose: Hansen's disease is endemic in over 140 countries worldwide and a potentially blinding condition. We describe a case of retinal vasculitis in a patient with Hansen's disease with concomitant positive antiphospholipid antibody serology, a potentially under-reported complication in this setting.
Methods: A 37-year-old Brazilian man systemically stable on triple therapy (clofazimine, rifampin, dapsone) for Hansen's disease presented for a comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation.
