Subject
Leprosy, profile, clinicopathology
Description
Introduction: Leprosy is a chronic disease caused by Mycobacterium
Leprae. According to the WHO, leprosy is one of the communicable
diseases that affect the skin, peripheral nerves, and upper mucosa, and it
can cause physical disabilities, if not properly handled. This study aims to
determine the clinical and pathological profile of leprosy at Prof. dr. I. G. N.
G. Ngoerah Central Hospital Denpasar, in 2017 - 2022.
Methods: The study used a descriptive research design with total sampling
from secondary data obtained from the Pathology Anatomy Laboratory of
Prof. dr. I. G. N. G. Ngoerah Central Hospital Denpasar. The sample collected
during the study period included 63 samples of patients diagnosed with
leprosy, which were then processed using SPSS software version 26.
Results: The highest number of cases was found in a group of patients aged
19-64 years, accounting for 55 cases (87.3%), predominantly in male
patients with 36 cases (57.1%). The most common main complaint was red
patches, with 43 cases (72.8%) presenting erythematous skin lesions,
specifically plaques, in 24 cases (42.8%).
Conclusion: Based on classification, leprosy was more frequently grouped
into two classifications: the WHO classification and the Ridley Jopling
classification. According to the WHO classification, the majority of patients
were found to have the PB type, namely 35 cases (55.6%), while based on
the Ridley Jopling classification, the BT type was more prevalent, namely
21 cases (33.3%). This study is beneficial as it provides insights into the
clinical and pathological profile of leprosy. Further analytical research is
needed to explore the relationships between various variables.
