"Reactions in Leprosy: Updated Insights Into Pathophysiology, Clinical Spectrum, and Therapeutic Approaches-A Narrative Review". [PDF]

Health Sci Rep
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Reaction in leprosy is an immune‐mediated acute inflammatory episodes that occur in the natural course of Hansen's disease. Reaction can occur before, during, or after starting multidrug therapy and is a major cause of nerve damage, morbidity, and disability in affected individuals.

Type 2 Lepra Reaction Following Antituberculosis Treatment Initiation in an Elderly Male With Coexisting Hansen's Disease: A Case Report. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
We report a case of a man developing erythema nodosum leprosum after initiating treatment for drug‐susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis. This highlights the importance of recognising concomitant leprosy in patients with tuberculosis since these mycobacterial infections require different long‐term multidrug regimens.

Demyelinating Leprosy Neuropathy: An Unusual and Misleading Electrophysiological Pattern. [PDF]

Muscle Nerve
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Peripheral neuropathy, especially mononeuropathy multiplex, is a frequent manifestation of leprosy. Electrodiagnostic studies (EDX) usually show predominant axonal involvement. In this study, we report patients with prominent demyelinating abnormalities consistent with the diagnosis of chronic inflammatory demyelinating ...

Lepra Bubalorum, a Potential Reservoir of Mycobacterium leprae [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
In 1926, a mycobacterial skin disease was observed in water buffaloes by researchers in Indonesia. The disease was designated as skin tuberculosis, though it was hypothesized that it might be a form of leprosy or a leprosy-like disease. In a follow-up study (Ph.D.
