Abstract

Leprosy is as old as mankind. Although rare, it could be seen in some parts of the world. Therefore, anaesthesiologists have to be familiar with its consequences and considerations that could pose as a challenge. Here, we report a case of leprosy that was referred to our hospital for debridement of his infected foot.

Keywords: Anaesthesia, leprosy, regional anaesthesia
