A new diagnosis of borderline lepromatous leprosy was established in a man who had immigrated to Kentucky from Mexico. He was placed on a World Health Organization treatment regimen consisting of dapsone, clofazimine, and rifampin. The biology of leprosy, its diagnosis, treatment, and worldwide impact are reviewed. Because of the potential for highly mobile populations to export endemic diseases, Kentucky physicians must expand their lists of differential diagnoses.
