Abstract

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. This bacillus has a high predilection for skin and peripheral nerves. The scalp's anatomical properties do not favor the development of such mycobacterium. We report a case of leprosy with scalp involvement, a rare occurrence in our literature.

摘要

麻风病是一种由麻风分枝杆菌引起的慢性传染病。这种杆菌高度倾向于侵犯皮肤和周围神经。头皮的解剖学特性不利于此类分枝杆菌的生长。我们报告一例累及头皮的麻风病病例，这在我们的文献中较为罕见。
