Alterações ósseas observadas na leishmaniose cutânea difusa (LCD) no Estado do Maranhão

Abstract: Considerada condrófila, acometendo sobretudo a porção anterior do tabique nasal, a leishmaniose tegumentar americana (LTA) ou cutâneo-mucosa, costuma poupar o plano ósseo, sendo este um aspecto pouco discutido na literatura3 61112. Estudos de Pupo10 em 1946 e Barros3 em 1952 relataram que as alterações radiológicas na LTA, podem apresentar-se como um espessamento ebumizante com bosseladuras nas diáfises de ossos longos, bem como focos discretos de destruição óssea, outras vezes hipertrofia periostal, apresenta… Show more

“…The rare bone involvement reported in cases of ATL and proven infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa , as well as the radiological alterations suggestive of persistent chronic osteomyelitis in the radiological control, suggest that the bone lesions observed in the present case were caused by contiguity from the secondary infection. 8 However, histopathological examination and culture of the bone lesion are necessary.…”

“…The bone alterations observed in DCL are characterized by shortening of the phalanges, especially the distal phalanges of the hands due to bone destruction and to a reduction in articular space, leading to deformities of skeletal extremities, limiting articular movement and impairing habitual daily life activities (Silva, 1958;Saldanha et al, 1995). Usually, no return to the normal bone aspect is observed.…”

“…Some theories have tried to explain this involvement: according to Barros et al (1952), bone destruction is the result of inflammatory processes or of specific mucosal lesions that occur adjacent to bone tissue. Guimarães and Silva (1957), defended a hematogenic cause and other investigators believe that bone alterations occur due to contiguity with the cutaneous lesions (Medina and Lizardo, 1960;Saldanha et al, 1995).…”
