An alternative multidrug regimen for multibacillary Hansen’s disease: a case report
This case report adds to the growing repertoire of literature supporting the use of rifampin, moxifloxacin, and minocycline. Further studies are needed to assess the efficacy of this antimycobacterial regimen and monitor rates of relapse and delayed immunologic reactions, which may occur 5-10 years after completion of treatment.
