Lazarine leprosy is an unusual expression of usually borderline tuberculoid (BT) form characterized by spontaneous ulceration of skin lesions. This is presumably the result of an exaggerated type 1 reaction. It commonly occurs in the BT, borderline lepromatous forms and rarely in the lepromatous forms of leprosy. We report two cases of lazarine leprosy in the BT and BT downgrading to borderline lepromatous spectrum in healthy and immunocompetent males.
拉扎里尼麻风是通常为界线类偏结核型(BT)麻风的一种特殊表现形式,其特征为皮肤损害出现自发性溃疡。这可能是1型反应过度的结果。它常见于BT型、界线类偏瘤型麻风,而在瘤型麻风中罕见。我们报告了两例发生在健康且免疫功能正常男性身上的BT型拉扎里尼麻风病例,以及BT型向界线类偏瘤型转变的病例。
