Borderline tuberculoid leprosy with type 1 reaction can have an acute presentation in persons infected with HIV. This reaction may develop as part of the immune reconstitution inflammatory ...

Borderline tuberculoid leprosy with type 1 reversal reaction. Leprosy is caused by the Mycobacterium leprae organism, an obligate intracellular acid fast bacillus with a predilection for dermal ...

It is positive in tuberculoid and borderline tuberculoid leprosy, but always negative in lepromatous leprosy. Thus it correlates cell-mediated immunity with the tuberculoid form of leprosy.

Tuberculoid leprosy is characterized by increased cellular immunity with localized infection, whereas lepromatous leprosy (LL) patients tend to have more disseminated infection and higher antibody ...

If you do have a reaction, you may have tuberculoid or borderline tuberculoid leprosy. People who don’t have leprosy or who have lepromatous leprosy won’t have a reaction to this test.

Borderline tuberculoid leprosy, such as the case described in this report, is a variant with an increased size and/or number of plaques as compared to the true polar tuberculoid variety.

Many of the patients presenting with leprosy have symptoms which put them in between these two extremities of presentations, where we name as borderline tuberculoid or borderline lepromatous.

Borderline tuberculoid involves three to 10 lesions with satellites. Tuberculoid leprosy involves one to three sharply outlined, dry, flaky, hairless and erythematous or hypopigmented plaques.

The granulomatous spectrum of leprosy can be classified into TT (polar tuberculoid), BT (borderline tuberculoid), BB (borderline), BL (borderline lepromatous), LLs (subpolar lepromatous) and ...

Leprosy, or Hansen's disease, is a chronic and complex infectious illness, dependent in large part upon the individual's immunologic response to the causative organism, Mycobacterium leprae. 1 The ...
