Physical examination revealed multiple tattoos, bilateral palpable thickened auricular and ulnar nerves, and claw-hand deformity; test results for rapid plasma reagin, antinuclear antibodies, rheumatoid factor, acid-fast bacilli, mycobacteria, and fungi were negative, and biopsy did not identify Mycobacterium leprae. What is the diagnosis and what would you do next?
