This case study reports on the development of clinical leprosy in a young Caucasian female from a non-endemic country who contracted the disease while living in a leprosy endemic country. In the presentation and discussion, some relevant factors will be reviewed and discussed that may play a role in the transmission, susceptibility and clinical development of the disease.
