Aspectos estomatológicos das lesões específicas e não-específicas em pacientes portadores da moléstia de Hansen

Abstract: Considerando a moléstia de Hansen um problema de saúde pública, propusemo-nos a examinar a mucosa bucal de doentes hansenianos com o objetivo de detectar possíveis alterações específicas e não-específicas. Examinamos 175 pacientes submetidos a poliquimioterapia, sendo 134 (76,57%) multibacilares, dos quais 93 (53,13%) na forma virchowiana (MHV) e 41 (23,43%) paucibacilares. Nenhum dos 175 pacientes examinados apresentou lesões específicas, sendo observadas 76 alterações não-específicas em 65 pacientes represen… Show more

“…These lesions should be biopsied and analyzed histopathologically; the association of acid-alcohol resistant bacilli and a 8,9 . Few authors did histopathological examination of detected lesions 10,12,13,16 .This may be one of the explanations for the disagreement in frequency rates of oral involvement in leprosy seen in literature, which varies from absent up to 57.5% [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] . The decision to biopsy three areas was to increase the positive result rate.…”

“…The oral cavity may be contaminated by bacilli present in rhinopharyngeal secretions, however, notwithstanding this contamination, oral cavity is resistant to lesions. These are almost only restricted to multibacillar patients in advanced stages of disease [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] , which suggests that bacillary invasion of the oral cavity results from bacillemia from bacterial dissemination and multiplication 12,13 . However, the oral cavity with no evident injuries may be affected in less advanced stages of the disease.…”

“…Por isto, é importante o monitoramento de áreas com ocorrência de casos novos em pessoas menores de 15 anos de idade, como indicador da magnitude do processo de transmissão da doença 2 . No entanto, neste estudo foram encontrados poucos casos de hanseníase em indivíduos entre a faixa etária de 0 a 15 anos (5,2 %), fato que pode ser explicado pela dificuldade em diagnosticar os sinais clínicos da hanseníase na infância 23 . Com isso, um controle rigoroso, envolvendo a vigilância epidemiológica deve ser mantido em crianças sob risco de contrair a hanseníase, no sentido de detectar a doença mais precocemente e evitar as conseqüências do diagnóstico tardio e dos estigmas sociais 4 11 26 .…”
