    Journal: Int J Tuberc Lung Dis; 2016 May; 20(5):706-8. PubMed ID: 27084829.
    Abstract:
    We present a patient who developed inoculation site leprosy in a tattoo, which was confirmed by Mycobacterium leprae DNA sequencing of a polymerase chain reaction product from a skin biopsy. His leprosy became manifest as a paradoxical reaction only after 8 weeks of treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis.
