Clinico‐Epidemiological and Molecular Evidences for Reactivation of Herpesviruses in Dapsone‐Induced Hypersensitivity Reactions in Nepalese Leprosy Patients: An Observational Study

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study found clinical and molecular evidences for the presence of herpesvirus (HHV‐5 and HHV‐6) reactivation during dapsone‐induced hypersensitivity in Nepalese leprosy patients. Reflare of hypersensitivity symptoms occurred on average 20 days after culprit drug cessation.

Coexistence of Scrofuloderma and Lepromatous Leprosy in Reaction: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Leprosy and tuberculosis (TB) are both chronic granulomatous infections caused by bacilli of the genus Mycobacterium. The simultaneous occurrence of cutaneous tuberculosis and leprosy is rare. We report a 56‐year‐old male presenting with painful erythematous nodules and plaques over the face and extremities for 1 week, along with asymptomatic ...

Pyrimidine scavenging by Mycobacterium leprae [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1989
Mycobacterium leprae incorporated exogenously supplied pyrimidines as bases or nucleosides, but not as a nucleotide, into its nucleic acids. Notably, thymine was incorporated approximately 5 times more rapidly than thymidine by both suspensions of, or intracellular M. leprae.

Oral Treatment With Heat Shock Protein 65‐Producing Lactococcus lactis Induces Regulatory T Cells, Modulating Inflammatory Response in Leishmania braziliensis Infection

Immunology, Volume 177, Issue 1, Page 59-69, January 2026.
Oral treatment with HSP65‐producing Lactococcus lactis after Leishmania braziliensis infection modulates inflammation by promoting lesion resolution through increased IL‐10 production and expansion of regulatory T cells. These findings highlight the potential of oral tolerance induction as a promising therapeutic strategy for chronic inflammatory ...

Health‐Related Quality of Life Among Cured Leprosy Patients in the Volta Region of Ghana: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Advances in Public Health, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Leprosy, caused by Mycobacterium leprae, can lead to permanent skin and nerve damage if untreated or if there is delayed treatment. Although multidrug therapy (MDT) has enhanced treatment results, stigma reduction and quality of life enhancement are still challenges.

Fragment Templates in Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Synthesis: Design Strategies, Critical Factors, and Analytical Applications

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The utilization of fragment templates in molecular imprinting polymer (MIP) synthesis attracts significant interest in its potential to create polymers with high specificity in recognizing target molecules. The primary advantage of fragment templates lies in their capacity to extract target molecules by focusing on specific components, thus forming ...
