Articular manifestations in leprosy-
| | Source: | s.l; s.n; February 3, 1983. 4 p. .
| | Abstract: | Articular manifestations occur in approximately 1% of cases of leprosy, sometimes at onset. They consist in a highly inflammatory polyarthritis, fairly similar to that seen in rheumatoid polyarthritis. They often herald a reactive leprous exacerbation and are dependent upon immunologic disturbances in brittle leprosy (mainly lepromatous). Joint pain should be differentiated from neurologic pain resulting from peripheral neuropathy which is often concomitant. Leprosy should be considered among the causes of polyarthritis, especially in immigrants, but also in residents who have travelled to areas where leprosy is endemic.(AU).
