Bone changes in leprosy. A study of 50 cases.

B D Chhabriya, N C Sharma, N K Bansal

    Indian Journal of Leprosy
    |July 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Leprosy patients often show non-specific bone changes, especially those with lepromatous leprosy, manual laborers, and individuals aged 30-60. Longer disease duration increases the likelihood of these radiological bone changes.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Dermatology
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Leprosy, a chronic infectious disease, can lead to various skeletal complications.
    • Radiological assessment is crucial for understanding the extent of bone involvement in leprosy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence and patterns of radiological bone changes in different types of leprosy.
    • To identify factors associated with non-specific bone changes in leprosy patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of radiological findings in 50 leprosy patients.
    • Classification of leprosy types including lepromatous, tuberculoid, mixed, and polyneuritic forms.
    • Correlation of bone changes with leprosy type, occupation, age, and disease duration.

    Main Results:

    • Non-specific bone changes were more common than specific bone changes across all leprosy types.
    • Lepromatous leprosy showed the highest incidence of non-specific bone changes.
    • Manual laborers, individuals in their 3rd to 6th decade of life, and those with longer disease duration exhibited increased non-specific bone changes.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiological bone changes, particularly non-specific ones, are prevalent in leprosy patients.
    • Lepromatous leprosy, manual labor, middle age, and prolonged disease duration are significant risk factors for developing non-specific bone changes.
