The aim of the present study was to clinically evaluate the oral mucosa lesions of leprosy patients during and after multi-drug therapy.
Clinical examination, medical and dental history examination was performed in 100 leprosy patients.
The results revealed that 71 patients, 50 men and 21 women, exibited oral lesions. The most frequent lesions were: fissured tongue (18 cases), inflammatory papillary hyperplasia (16 cases), chronic atrophic candidiasis (10 cases), fibroma (10 cases), erythematous candidiasis (eight cases), and traumatic ulceration (seven cases).
We conclude that leprosy-related lesions are not present in patients undergoing treatment for leprosy, probably due to response to multidrug therapy.
本研究旨在对麻风患者在多药治疗期间及治疗后的口腔黏膜病变进行临床评估。
对100例麻风患者进行了临床检查、病史及牙科病史检查。
结果显示，71例患者出现口腔病变，其中男性50例，女性21例。最常见的病变为：沟纹舌（18例）、炎性乳头状增生（16例）、慢性萎缩性念珠菌病（10例）、纤维瘤（10例）、红斑性念珠菌病（8例）和创伤性溃疡（7例）。
我们得出结论，正在接受麻风治疗的患者不存在与麻风相关的病变，这可能是对多药治疗的反应所致。
