The paper describes a case of lepromatous lepra diagnosed from the skin biopsy specimen taken in a 23-year-old male patient. It provides histologic signs that are beneficial for correct diagnosis. Emphasis is placed upon the necessity for staining by the Ziehl-Neelsen method to detect microorganisms in infiltrative and granulomatous skin lesions.
