The spotted or lazarine leprosy was first described by Ladislao de la Pascua in 1844. Lucio and Alvarado published a description of the disease with the same names in 1852. Latapí re-described it in 1938 and reported it as 'spotted' leprosy of Lucio in 1948. It was named the diffuse leprosy of Lucio

The underlying pathology was explained by Chévez-Zamora as a diffuse generalised cutaneous infiltration. He named it pure and primitive diffuse lepromatosis, upon which necrotising lesions develop. He proposed the name Fenómeno de Lucio or erythema necrotisans for these lesions.

Lucio's phenomenon consists of well-shaped erythematous spots which later become necrotic with scabs, ulcerations and scars. These lesions are usually located on the lower extremities and may be extensive. They are frequently painful and rarely fatal.

The likely pathogenesis is endothelial cell injury due to colonization/invasion followed by proliferation, angiogenesis, thrombosis and vessel ectasia.
