Hansen’s disease patient in Ohio successfully treated with a monthly rifampin, minocycline, and moxifloxacin regimen: a case report
Hansen's disease is uncommon in the United States, especially in the Midwest. However, providers should include Hansen's disease on their differential even if recent travel was only domestic, particularly to Florida. In addition, the monthly multidrug treatment regimen RMM is an effective monthly treatment alternative, especially for patients with concerns of intolerance to first-line drugs.
