She says she has had several investigations including a skin biopsy and ‘needle tests’ on her ears and elbows, which she says were ‘positive’. On examination she has several erythematous, raised, plaque-like lesions on her arms and legs around 1 cm in diameter. They have not changed in appearance recently. She is apyrexial. Routine blood tests are normal. What treatment is most likely to be appropriate? Intravenous benzylpenicillin and flucloxacillin Isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol Prednisolone Clindamycin and ciprofloxacin Dapsone, clofazimine and rifampicin
