Tuberculoid relapse in lepromatous leprosy.

M F Waters1, D S Ridley

  • 1Hospital for Tropical Diseases, London.

Leprosy Review
|December 1, 1990
PubMed
Summary

Leprosy patients with lepromatous leprosy may upgrade immune status after treatment, even developing positive Mitsuda reactions. This immune restoration during relapse, potentially due to dapsone resistance, challenges assumptions about cure.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Leprosy patients with lepromatous leprosy (LL) often do not regain immune function after achieving bacteriological negativity.
  • This study investigates immune status changes in LL patients experiencing relapse after long-term treatment.
