Decompression of peripheral nerve trunks in leprosy to prevent the development and progression of deformities
Peripheral nerve involvement results in deformities formation in leprosy. High doses of (40-60 mg) steroids along with the anti-leprosy drugs is preferred even though the 70-75% cases develop deformity with the above treatment. 772 ulnar nerves, 120 median nerves and 108 posterior tibial nerves not responding to above medical treatment in 12 weeks, were undertaken for external and internal nerv...

متن کاملChallenges presented by nerve damage in leprosy.
The basis of nerve damage in leprosy is the unique tendency of Mycobacterium leprae to invade Schwann cells. alphaBeta-Dystroglycan on the basement membrane of Schwann cells binds to laminin alpha2, in turn binding to receptors on the M. leprae surface, comprising a histone-like protein and phenoglycolipid-1. When nerve damage during reversal reactions was found to be associated with an abrupt ...

Anti-ceramide antibodies in leprosy: marker for nerve damage?
BACKGROUND Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease primarily affecting the peripheral nervous system and skin. Multibacillary leprosy is associated with nerve damage which could contribute to myelin alteration. As ceramide is a constituent of myelin sheath, the present study aimed to compare anti-ceramide antibody titre in paucibacillary and multibacillary leprosy patients with controls. METH...
