A 64-year-old Cambodian male with lepromatous leprosy of several months' duration, with only brief previous treatment, had symmetrical patchy loss of pain and thermal sensibility including the lateral foot regions. Quantitative assessment by light and electron microscopy revealed normal counts of myelinated fibers (MF) and an increased number of unmyelinated fibers (UF). The respective abnormal histograms and the qualitative differentiation of UF-associated Schwann cells suggested a combination of segmental demyelination with Wallerian degeneration of MF, and a loss of genuine UF, concomitant with considerable regenerative activity of both fiber populations.
一名64岁的柬埔寨男性，患瘤型麻风数月，此前仅接受过短期治疗，出现包括足外侧区域在内的对称性片状痛觉和温度觉丧失。光镜和电镜定量评估显示有髓纤维（MF）计数正常，无髓纤维（UF）数量增加。各自异常的直方图以及与UF相关的施万细胞的定性分化表明，MF存在节段性脱髓鞘合并华勒氏变性，真正的UF缺失，同时两种纤维群体都有相当程度的再生活动。
