A SECOND man has been diagnosed with leprosy in the north east of the country, health officials have confirmed.
It follows the recent revelations that a Brazilian man was found to have the same disease after he complained to GPs in Co Meath of shooting pains. The latest case, diagnosed in June, is also believed to involve a foreign national but no details about the man's age or state of health have been released.
However, the man is suffering a recurrence of the disease and it is understood he contracted it in another country.
