Abstract

Leprosy is a rare, chronic granulomatous disease, and India accounts for two-thirds of the new cases reported worldwide. Hypercalcemia is a rare complication of granulomatous disease. Here, we report a case of an older adult patient with leprosy and type I lepra reaction presenting with severe hypercalcemia.
