Avaliação da concordância entre exames clínicos e laboratoriais no diagnóstico da hanseníase

Abstract: This study examined the correlation between the clinical and laboratory diagnosis of leprosy, using biopsy results from laboratories "A" and "B" and the ML Flow test. Clinical and histopathological diagnoses presented 67.6% agreement. The laboratories showed 73.7% agreement in the bacterial index and laboratory 'B' detected 25.4% more positives. The highest agreement was in the LL form and lowest, in the I form. The highest diagnostic discrepancy was for the BB form. Clinical diagnosis agreement was 41.3% for … Show more

“…De acordo com a OMS, a classificação operacional levando em consideração o número de lesões e a baciloscopia são o padrão ouro para uma classificação mais correta da hanseníase 20 . Entretanto, a baciloscopia do raspado dérmico tem uma baixa sensibilidade para a hanseníase PB 8,21 . Nesse contexto, a histopatologia diagnóstica e a baciloscopia, são diretamente dependentes de biópsia de pele, processo invasivo e de baixa sensibilidade para as formas mais brandas da doença 7,22 .…”

“… 1 , 2 , 14 , 17 , 18 Due to the wide spectrum of clinical manifestations of the disease, the use of histopathological criteria, smear microscopy, evolutionary and immunological criteria, as proposed by the R&J classification in 1966 allows greater sensitivity and specificity rates for disease classification and are widely accepted by pathologists and leprosy specialists. 1 , 16 , 19 , 20 Complementary examinations, however, are usually not available in most BHUs, where the diagnosis and classification of the disease should be made. Due to this problem, the WHO proposed a simplified classification, using only clinical criteria.…”
