 AB    We performed an immunohistochemical analysis of a skin lesion from a
       patient with AIDS who had borderline tuberculoid Hansen's disease. We
       also evaluated other laboratory features and performed peripheral blood
       flow cytometric analysis. The in situ immunologic response to
       Mycobacterium leprae was minimally affected by concomitant infection and
       immunosuppression by HIV. The skin demonstrated the typical
       characteristics of borderline tuberculoid lesions. These results
       indicate that although a patient with HIV infection may have laboratory
       evidence typical of the immunosuppression seen in AIDS, the immunologic
       response to M. leprae is essentially unchanged.
