In a retrospective study, five patients are reported who suffered from a Mycobacterium leprae/HIV co-infection and were treated for their HIV infection with HAART. In four patients, this revealed their leprosy and induced a type I leprosy reaction. Two patients who were lepromin negative at diagnosis were retested after about 1 year of anti-retroviral treatment, and found to be positive.
