Rheumatic manifestations of leprosy: clinical aspects
J Rheumatol.
1993 May.
Abstract
Articular manifestations had been identified in leprosy in ancient times. However, for the last 5 decades, the focus has been on inflammatory changes resembling rheumatologic diseases. Better understanding of these manifestations is important both to improve therapy and to clarify the pathogenetic mechanisms involved in leprosy.
