We derive a sum rule which shows how to extend limits from LEP data on the masses of the lightest {ital CP}-even and {ital CP}-odd Higgs bosons of a {ital CP}-conserving two-Higgs doublet model to any two Higgs bosons of a general {ital CP}-violating two-Higgs-doublet model. We generalize the analysis to a Higgs sector consisting of an arbitrary number of Higgs doublets and singlets, giving explicit limits for the {ital CP}-conserving and {ital CP}-violating two-doublet plus one-singlet Higgs sectors. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
