Id: 18351 Author: Shuttleworth, J. S; Ross, S. H Title: Secondary amyloidosis in leprosy ?- Source: s.l; s.n; 1956. 16p p. . Abstract: Secondary amyloidosis is the leading cause of death in lepromatous leprosy in this country. The mortality is directly caused by amyloid involvement of the kidneys, which occurred in 100% of this series. The diagnosis of this complication depends largely on the development of a persistent proteinuria, Congo red absorption, hepatosplenomegaly and, to a lesser degree, altered serum proteins and perhaps liver biopsy in selected cases. the correlation between the Congo red test and the degree of amyloidosis is poor, and unless this test shows 80 to 100% dye absorption in one hour the diagnosis cannot be made from this finding alone. Serum protein and lipoid changes occur in lepromatous leprosy per se, and in a study of the various protein fractions no consistent alteration occurred in cases complicated by amyloidosis. The average duration of life after the onset of proteinuria in amyloidosis was 38.33 months, with a fairly wide range above and below this figure. The development of anemia and a progressive elevation of the nonprotein nitrogen are unfavorable prognostic signs.

W; Convit, Jacinto Title: Naturally acquired leprosy-like disease in the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus): reactions in leprosy patients to lepromins prepared from naturally infected armadillos ..- Source: s.l; s.n; oct. 1977. 7 p. tab. Abstract: Lepromins prepared from 6 armadillos with a naturally acquired leprosy-like disease in Louisiana were assayed in 146 leprosy patients with lepromatous and nonlepromatous leprosy. The patients resided in Ethiopia, Malaysia, Venezuela and Zaire. The classic pattern of mitsuda reactiona was observed. Whereas patients with lepromatous leprosy gave weak or negative reactions, those with nonlepromatous leprosy gave positive reactions. Because Mycobacterium leprae is the only micoorganism known to give this pattern of repsonse, these data indicate that the organism reponsible for the naturally acquired leprosy-like disease of armadillos in Louisiana is closely related to, if not identical with, M. leprae.(AU).
