Abstract
Jaccoud's arthropathy is a deforming, non-erosive form of arthritis initially described in patients with rheumatic fever. However, it has been recently observed more frequently in those with systemic lupus erythematosus. Cases of Jaccoud's arthropathy have also been described to be associated with other conditions. Herein, we describe the case of a 64-year-old Brazilian man who exhibited Jaccoud's arthropathy associated with leprosy. To our best knowledge, this is the first report on this association.
