Abstract (English):	We report the occurrence of Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS) after reversal of agranulocytosis provoked by drug or drugs used in the treatment of leprosy. After suspension of the drugs under suspicion and the recovery of the hematologic disturbance and as consequence the restoration of the immune condition we started an alternate treatment for Hansen's disease. Taking this case as an example, we propose that all patients with leprosy and under treatment with drugs such as dapsone and/ or rifampicin should have a periodical hemogram to identify premature hematologic anomalies.

Propomos que em todos os pacientes submetidos à poliquimioterapia para hanseníase sejam efetuados periodicamente exames laboratoriais que possam identificar precocemente distúrbios hematológicos graves.
