Erythema nodosum leprosum(type 2 reaction) in leprosy occurs in half of patients with borderline
or lepromatous leprosy. It is usually manifested as erythematous, subcutaneous, and dermal
nodules that are widely distributed. A 40 year-old lepromatous leprosy Fijian transgender male
patient showed recurrent multiple erythematous tender papules, nodules and plaque on face,
extremities and trunk with fever, malaise, arthralgia and pruritus. Herein, we report a case of
Fijian transgender male patient showing recurrent type 2 reaction and share the management of
the reaction in the developing country like Fiji.
