N2 - This is a report on eight non-HIV infected leprosy patients presenting unusual co-infection with other, often neglected, tropical diseases, namely: American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL), sporotrichosis, and cryptococcosis. To the best of our knowledge, there have been very few ATL-leprosy co-infection reports in the literature to date and only one previous description of the coexistence of leprosy-cryptococcosis and leprosy-sporotricosis.
