Abstract

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, and mostly involves skin and superficial peripheral nerves. It has two major clinical forms: Lepromatous leprosy and tuberculoid leprosy. The predominant form develops as a result of the nature of the immune response to the microorganism. This microorganism mostly prefers the cooler parts of the body, such as mucous membranes, skin and superficial peripheral nerves for its multiplication. In this report, we aimed to present a 65 year-old female patient with lepromatous leprosy diagnosed and treated 17 years ago. The patient has atrophic cutaneous lesions, bilateral hand and foot deformities and auto-amputations at the distal phalanges of the hands and feet, and bilateral distal severe sensory-motor axonal neuropathy.

Özet

Lepra, deri ve periferik sinirleri tutmaya eğilimli Mycobacterium leprae enfeksiyona bağlı olarak gelişen kronik bir hastalıktır. Basillerin mukoz membranlar, deri ve yüzeyel sinirlere affinitesi vardır, çünkü bu sahalar multiplikasyonu için ideal ısıda daha soğuk vücut sahalarıdır. İki majör klinik tip kabul edilmektedir: Lepramatöz ve tüberküloid lepra. Tip mikroorganizmanın immunolojik cevabının natürüne bağlı olarak baskınlık gösterir. Onyedi yıl önce tanı konup tedavi edilmiş, atrofik kütanöz lezyonları, bilateral el ve ayak deformite ve otoampütasyonları olan ve distal ağır sensori-motor aksonal nöropati tespit edilen inaktif lepramatöz lepralı 65 yaşında bir kadın olgu takdim edildi.
