A case of borderline lepromatous leprosy with a history of 5 years duration of disease, was first seen in 1971 and treated with graded doses of dapsone in the OP Clinic of the Institute. He became inactive and bacteriologically negative in 3 years. While continuing on dapsone therapy he relapsed into active dapsone resistant leprosy 3 1/2 years later. He was admitted in the hospital and given Rifampicin 600 mg. daily for 15 days along with dapsone 100 mg. daily. He again became inactive and bacteriologically negative within 3 years. 3 years later under regular dapsone therapy he relapsed again for the second time into active BT leprosy, but remained bacteriologically negative. He was given 3 drug regimen subsequently and became clinically inactive within 15 months.
一例边缘性瘤型麻风患者，病程5年，于1971年首次就诊，在该研究所门诊接受了不同剂量的氨苯砜治疗。3年后病情静止，细菌学检查转为阴性。在继续服用氨苯砜治疗期间，3年半后复发为耐氨苯砜的活动性麻风。他入院后，每天给予利福平600毫克，共15天，同时每天给予氨苯砜100毫克。3年内他再次病情静止，细菌学检查转为阴性。3年后，在常规氨苯砜治疗下，他再次复发为活动性BT麻风，但细菌学检查仍为阴性。随后给予三联药物治疗，15个月内临床症状消失。
