10. *OCCURRENCE & SPREAD
•CAUSE- MYCOBACTERIUM LEPRAE
•INFECTION- VERY SLOW GROWING (15-20 days for
multiplication)
•EARLY SIGNS ~ APPEAR 3-5 YEARS (LONG INCUBATION
PERIOD)
•SUSCEPTIBLES- ONLY 2-5% (95-98% population is immune to
disease )
•SPREAD- Only untreated infectious smear + MB pt. By
throwing out large no. of germs from URT while sneezing &
coughing.(only 10-15% of all leprosy pt.) ONLY HUMANBEING
• Close skin to skin contact , Breast milk & Tattoing needle.
11. *Indian classification of Leprosy
1. Indeterminate :- One o two vague hypo pigmented patch or
definite sensory impairment. Bacteriologically Negative.
2. Tuberculoid :- One or two well defined hypo pigmented or
erythematous and anesthetic patch may be flat or raised.
Bacteriologically positive.
3. Borderline Type : - 4 or more flat/ raised, well or ill defined,
hypo pigmented or erythematous patch with sensory
impairment or loss. Bacteriologically positive.
4. Lepomatous Type: Diffuse, Infiltrate or numerous flat or
raised, poorly defined shiny, smooth, symmetrically
distributed lesion. Bacteriologically positive.
5. Pure Neuritic type:Nerve involved but do not have any skin
lesion. Bacteriologically Negative.
12. *DIAGNOSIS OF LEPROSY….
BE CAREFUL…………..
*EXAMINE IN DAY LIGHT OR IN
WELL LIT ROOM.
*EXAMINE THE ENTIRE BODY
(DON’T SHY)
*A HAND SHAKE CREATES
CONFIDENCE AND ESTABILISHES
RAPPORT B/W PATIENT &
DOCTOR. IT INDUCES A SENSE OF
CO-OPERATION AND HELPS IN
THE HEALING PROCESS.
*IF YOU THINK ABOUT LEPROSY,
YOU CAN DIAGNOSE IT
13. o INCREASE SIZE & NO. OF LESION DURING
TREATMENT ….. SEND TO NEAR
REFFERAL CENTER
o INCREASE NO. DURING TREATMENT
…..REACTION
o INCREASE NO. DURING AFTER
TREATMENT ….REACTION OR RELAPSE
o *LESION OVER NERVE TRUNK OR ON
FACE…. RISK FOR DEVELOPING
SENSORY/MOTOR DEFICIT.
1. MARGIN – ILL DEFINE / WELL
DEFINE
2. COLOUR – HYPOPIGMENTED /
ERYTHEMATOUS
3. SIZE –
4. NUMBER – SINGLE / MULTIPAL
5. SITE -
*1.SKIN PATCH WITH LOSS OF SENSATION
15. *2 .EXAMINE FOR THICKENED PERIFERAL
NERVES…
*Ulnar nerve,
*Lateral popliteal nerve
*Post. Tibial nerve
* Radial nerve,
* Median nerve
*Trigeminal nerve,
* Facial nerve

18. *CONSEQUENCES OF NERVE DAMAGE
*Examine hands for injuries, blisters and stiff joints.
*Examine feet for dryness, cracks, swelling, wounds.
*Recurrent ulceration with infection due to repeated injuries
may cause destruction of bones & joints and develops severe
functional handicap.
*Examine face for lagophthalmos & facial palsy.
*Risk for eye complications and eventually blindness.
*Patient with depressed nose will have difficulty in breathing
normally & social rejection due to gross deformity.
*In india 7% of leprosy is pure neuritic type.
19. *3.SUSPECTED CHANGES IN SKIN….
without sensory loss
*If doubt Refer for SKIN SMEAR examination to referral centre.
*SKIN SMEAR examination is not mandatory to start MDT
*NLEP no longer routinely advises skin smear.
20. *Sign. Of infectious leprosy
*Look for any infiltration (thickness) of the skin, oily and shiny skin. It
could be early sign of infectious type of leprosy.
*Look for nodules with normal skin or redish colour; may be soft or
hard & small or large.
*Lepromatous leprosy is usually a generalised disease.
*Multiple hypopigmented patches seen in lepromatous leprosy
typically do not show loss of sensation.
*Glove and Stocking type of anesthesia is a common feature of
lepromatous leprosy.
*Nose, Testes & eyes are frequentally affected in advanced leprosy.
*Look for loss of eye brows & eye lashes
