Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective:Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae expresses itself in different clinico pathological forms,depending on the immune status of the host.Ridelyjopling criteria is widely used for classifying leprosy based on clinical features.The demonstration of acid fast bacilli on slit skin smear examination and skin biopsies aid in its diagnosis.The aim of present study is to observe the clinicohistopathological correlation of skin lesion in all patients with a clinical diagnosis of Hansen’s disease. Material And Methods: The study include skin biopsy of all suspected cases of Hansen’s disease received over aperiod of two years. Result: From this study it was observed that commonest group affected by leprosy was 31 to 60 years.Males are twice more commonly affected than females and the most commonest clinically diagnosed spectrum was Lepromatousleprosy ,but histologically diagnosed spectrum was borderline tuberculoidleprosy.However,it was observed that there was complete agreement between clinical diagnosis and histopathological diagnosis in 60.6% cases and disagreement was observed in 39.4% cases. Conclusion: Because there is some degree of overlap in different type of leprosy,especially the unstable forms.The correlation can be made more accurate by combining clinical and histopathological features
