J Family Med Prim Care
November 2019
Article Synopsis
- Leprosy, a chronic disease affecting nerves and muscles, has been linked to oral lesions in 20-60% of patients, particularly in lepromatous leprosy, necessitating accurate diagnosis to prevent disease spread.
- In a study of 100 leprosy patients, 70% exhibited oral manifestations, with conditions such as chronic periodontitis and oral melanosis being the most common.
- This study is notably the first of its kind worldwide to document oral lesions in a significant number of leprosy cases, suggesting improved treatment outcomes have led to a decrease in the incidence of these lesions compared to older records.
