Leprosy and international adoption: a case report and review of diagnostic and treatment dilemmas.

Hansen disease, commonly known as leprosy, is uncommon in the United States and poses difficult diagnostic and treatment challenges. A 10-year-old girl was adopted from Ethiopia with a history of "multibacillary leprosy" and "multidrug treatment" for 12 months.

Herein, we present her case and review current treatment options in leprosy in children and the management of immunologic reactions.
