These leprosy photos show the crippling deformities and hardship that leprosy causes.
Leprosy deformities. Leprosy attacks the nerves. However the deformities and nerve damage associated with leprosy are often irreversible. Hands can become numb and small muscles are paralyzed.
Disfigurement hair loss particularly on the eyebrows and eyelashes muscle weakness permanent nerve damage in the arms and legs inability to use hands and feet chronic nasal congestion nosebleeds and collapse of the nasal septum iritis which is an inflammation of the iris of. Nodules on the ear and elongated lobules. In 2015 around 175 cases were reported in the us.
Deformities of face most of deformities on face occurs due to infilteration of facial skin but paralytic deformities can also occurin borderline leprosy deformities are loss of eyebrowsmadarosis mega lobules of earbudhha ear premature senilitystrecthing of skin due to heavy infiltration lead to loss of elastic tissue when infiltration regresses skin become redundant sunken nose due to infilteration in nasal mucosa in ll granuloma formed erodes the supporting bony. The most serious complication of leprosy is the nerve damage that may occur sometimes even after treatment is begun. Preventions or rehabilition of these defects is an integral part of management of the disease.
In the worst cases the bacterial infection damages the skin and nerves leaving patients numb and susceptible to injury. Deformities of the hands and feet may result from muscle paralysis and repeated trauma that is not felt due to sensory loss. Infection can lead to damage of the nerves respiratory tract skin and eyes.
Reconstructive surgery aimed at preventing and correcting deformities offers the greatest hope for disabled patients. Deformities occurring in leprosy face deformities mask face faces leonina sagging face lagophthaimos loss of eye brows supercilliary madorosis and eyelashes ciliary madarosis corneal ulcers and opacities perforated nose depressed nose ear deformities eg. Affected body parts.
Saddle nose deformity the face of this female patient exhibited some of the complications associated with multibacillary leprosy. Also note the lack of eyebrows and the mottled coloration of the sclerae bilaterally. This nerve damage may result in a lack of ability to feel pain which can lead to the loss of parts of a persons extremities from repeated injuries or infection due to unnoticed wounds.
Of note was the depressed nasal bridge known as saddle nose deformity due to the disintegration of the nasal cartilage in this area. Some of the leprosy photos below show how this can lead to curling of the fingers and thumb.
