Lucio's phenomenon and diffuse nonnodular lepromatous leprosy

|July 1, 1978
Abstract:
The records of ten patients with Lucio's phenomenon showed clinical and histopathological changes similar to those described by others. Lucio's phenomenon is a syndrome distinct from erythema nodosum leprosum as indicated by an absence of fever, leukocytosis and tenderness, a failure to respond to thalidomide, and a restriction to patients with diffuse nonnodular lepromatous leprosy. Lymphopenia associated with splenomegaly in three patients and glomerulonephritis in one patient were unexpected findings of unknown relevance.

01:30Leishmaniasis
Leishmaniasis is a protozoal disease caused by species of the genus Leishmania and transmitted through the bite of infected female sandflies. The parasite exists in two principal morphological forms during its life cycle. A sandfly acquires intracellular amastigotes from an infected reservoir host, such as a dog. Within the sandfly, these forms differentiate into motile, flagellated promastigotes. During a subsequent blood meal, promastigotes are injected into the human host, where they...
