This document provides information about Erythema Nodosum Leprosum (ENL), a type 2 reaction that occurs in patients with multibacillary leprosy with a heavy bacterial load. ENL is characterized by red, tender skin nodules and can involve multiple organs. It is caused by an Arthus-type allergic reaction when large numbers of killed leprosy bacteria release antigens. Diagnosis involves clinical presentation of skin and nerve inflammation as well as slit skin smears and histopathology. Treatment focuses on reassurance, continuing multidrug therapy, rest, NSAIDs for mild cases, and oral steroids for severe cases.
