History and Phylogeography of Leprosyllennia. The history of leprosy has been documented by various civilizations, and its global spread deduced from the anthropological record, although scientific proof for the latter is often lacking. Considerable insight into the biology, genetics, and evolution of the leprosy bacillus has been obta

Classification of Leprosy risk of leprosy reaction and nerve damage. The Ridley–Jopling classification recognizes the complex pathogenesis of leprosy and is based on a spectrum that extends from tuberculoid leprosy (TT), through borderline tuberculoid (BT), mid-borderline (BB), borderline lepromatous (BL), to the poorly res

Aspecific signs can be interpreted only after the appearance of specific signs of the disease. Itching should not be considered as a subjective symptom of leprosy, since dermal nerve bundles are destroyed by the disea

Laboratory Investigations in Leprosystopathology are the steps used for the diagnosis of leprosy. Classical techniques used to research are Ziehl-Neelsen staining in SSS or nasal swabs, Fite-Faraco staining of biopsy, and antibodies anti-PGLI; to these were added modern techniques of molecular biology. But whatever the technique used,

Physical Examination in Leprosy: Skin or symmetric. Accurate examination will help to distinguish the type of lesions. In leprosy there are macules, plaques, papules, nodules, and diffuse infiltration. Diffuse infiltration characterizes anergic polar lepromatous leprosy (LLp). Palpation provides information on lesion surface and textur

Clinical Features of Leprosypects can be seen in a spectrum (Ridley–Jopling) which ranges from the tuberculoid (TT) hyperergic pole to the lepromatous (LL) anergic pole. TT is characterized by single or a few lesions (macules, plaques, and papules) grouped together, asymmetric arrangement, well-defined edges, and anesthetic dr
