Resumen

Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 10 años quien consulta a urgencias por presentar fiebre prolongada, múltiples lesiones nodulares en piel y reporte de paraclínicos que confirmaban lepra. Como complicación, presenta una reacción leprosa tipo 2 que no respondió de manera adecuada a esteroides sistémicos, por lo cual usamos talidomida, un medicamento poco usado en niños, pero con el cual logramos controlar la respuesta inflamatoria.
