Leprosy can present with symptoms resembling rheumatoid arthritis, leading to delays in diagnosis or inappropriate treatment, potentially progressing to lepromatous forms, neuropathy, and disability. Physicians must consider leprosy as a differential for rheumatoid arthritis, especially in endemic regions. Early detection is vital to prevent chronic neuropathy, disabilities, and disfigurement.
麻风病可能会出现类似类风湿性关节炎的症状，导致诊断延误或治疗不当，有可能发展为瘤型麻风、神经病变和残疾。医生必须将麻风病列为类风湿性关节炎的鉴别诊断疾病，尤其是在麻风病流行地区。早期发现对于预防慢性神经病变、残疾和毁容至关重要。
