    • Abstract:
      Leprosy can present with symptoms resembling rheumatoid arthritis, leading to delays in diagnosis or inappropriate treatment, potentially progressing to lepromatous forms, neuropathy, and disability. Physicians must consider leprosy as a differential for rheumatoid arthritis, especially in endemic regions. Early detection is vital to prevent chronic neuropathy, disabilities, and disfigurement.
