I've seen lots of mentions of Chaulmoogra oil over the years, and I don't think I've ever seen any that didn't mention its use against leprosy- to the point that I would say it's an integral part of the meaning. I'll concede that the antibiotic part may be unnecessary, or perhaps even incorrect (the wikipedia article refers to it as an antibiotic).
