Electromyographic diagnosis of leprosy.
Eighty untreated patients suspected to have leprosy were submitted to neurophysiological examination and later compared with the clinical diagnosis. Among the patients who had leprosy confirmed, 98% had EMG abnormalities. Motor and sensory amplitude reduction was the earliest and the most frequent abnormality. Low conduction velocity of the ulnar nerve across the elbow was present in over 55% o...

From time immemorial leprosy has often been mistaken for numerous other diseases (I). In countries where leprosy is endemic, other diseases are not infrequently taken to be leprosy. In areas where leprosy is Dot endemic, the disease is easily overlooked or not recognized.

In an endemic area of leprosy, a practitioner confronted with a patient with an acute or chronic atypical rash that is not diagnostic and/or fails to respond to treatment would generally have leprosy in his differential diagnosis. In a non-endemic area, leprosy would not be considered in the differential diagnosis because practitioners have no familiarity with the disease in either medical prac...
متن کاملElectromyographic diagnosis of the carpal tunnel syndrome.
Sensory conduction velocities of the median nerve were studied from digit to palm and from palm to wrist in normal subjects and in patients with the carpal tunnel syndrome. Definite slowing was noted in the palm to wrist segment, even in the early carpal tunnel syndrome. It was noted that 37% of normal women over 40 years of age had electrophysiological evidence of the carpal tunnel syndrome.
