| Abstract: | CASE REPORT: A 55 year-old Spanish woman with a personal history of lepromatous leprosy treated for 10 years with anti-lepromatous triple therapy was referred to us presenting nodular scleritis in her left eye with no other clinical manifestations. Ophthalmological evaluation disclosed several inflammatory features in both eyes. Complementary tests performed were negative and the clinical picture was diagnosed as an immuno-mediated manifestation of leprosy. A favorable outcome was achieved with steroidal treatment. DISCUSSION: Scleritis and some immunomediated conditions may appear during the evolution of lepromatous patients whose disease may have been declared clinically cured. (AU).
