Title:Hand deformity and sensory loss due to Hansen's disease in American Samoa ..-
Source:s.l; s.n; mar. 1988. 5 p. tab, graf.
Abstract:We report the prevalence of sensory loss and hand deformity in 63 patients with Hansen's disease in American Samoa. Open ulceration, the most common deformity, was present in 41% of patients; sensory abnormalities were present in 54% and were bilateral in 65%. The presence of abnormal sensibility correlated with a high percentage of other deformities. Hand abnormalities were most prevalent in lepromatous patients and were related to a prolonged duration of disease. Nerve thickening did not appear to be a helpful clinical finding to assess the degree of sensory loss.(AU).
