A Multiepitope‐Based Lateral Flow Assay for Leprosy Antibodies
Analysis &Sensing, Volume 6, Issue 2, March 2026.An innovative lateral flow assay for leprosy diagnosis is based on gold nanoparticles and synthetic Mycobacterium leprae epitopes conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin protein to enhance antibody detection. This strategy provides a rapid, accurate, and low‐cost approach for resource‐limited settings, enabling the early detection of infection. Leprosy

In vitro activity of bedaquiline against rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria [PDF]
, 2017 Bedaquiline (BDQ) has been proven to be effective in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. We hypothesized that BDQ could be a potential agent to treat nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection. The objective of this study was to evaluate

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.We report a case of a man developing erythema nodosum leprosum after initiating treatment for drug‐susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis. This highlights the importance of recognising concomitant leprosy in patients with tuberculosis since these mycobacterial infections require different long‐term multidrug regimens.
