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.
据报道，一名4岁学龄前儿童患麻风病，因其罕见，尤其是在我们希望消除该病的时候。一名5岁女童右臀部出现红斑皮疹已持续一年。对该斑块进行组织病理学检查显示为未定类麻风病。该患儿经抗麻风病治疗后反应良好。
