Popis:	We report a case of borderline tuberculoid leprosy complicated by a median nerve abscess, acute renal failure secondary to rifampicin-induced haemolysis and duodenal ulceration secondary to steroid use. Rifampicin induced hameolysis is a rare and probably under-reported complication of leprosy multi-drug therapy. It should be considered when patients complain of flu-like symptoms after taking their monthly rifampicin.
