Leprosy in a preschool child--a case report.

Leprosy in a preschool child appearing at the age of four years is reported due to its rarity, particularly at a time when we are hoping for its elimination. A 5-year-old female child presented with an erythematous rash over-her right buttock for last one year. Histopathological examination from the patch revealed it to be a case of indeterminate leprosy. The child responded favourably with antileprosy treatment.
