Abstract

Hansen's disease not only causes problems for patients in the workplace, but also increases the possibility of transmission to other workers. This case report discusses the fitness-to-work assessment for a Hansen's disease patient with a disability. A 19-year-old female, who worked as an online shop warehouse staff, presented at our hospital with a wound on her left hand accompanied by numbness. The patient's activity indicated mild limitations with a SALSA score of 25. A seven-step process for evaluating fitness to work was conducted. These steps involved assessing the patient's medical condition, disability, job demands, risks, and tolerance to determine the appropriate work status. This patient was declared fit to work with a note as online shop warehouse staff. She must take care of herself by maintaining good personal hygiene and consulting a doctor regularly, in addition to educating other workers about her condition and avoiding stigma. Routine examinations are also an important part of treating leprosy in the workplace.

汉森氏病残疾工人的工作适应性:病例报告。
汉森氏病不仅会给患者在工作场所带来麻烦,还会增加传染给其他工人的可能性。本病例报告讨论了对一名麻风病残疾患者的工作适应性评估。一名 19 岁的女患者是网店仓库员工,因左手受伤并伴有麻木症状到我院就诊。患者的活动能力受到轻度限制,SALSA 评分为 25 分。我们对患者的工作能力进行了七步评估。这些步骤包括评估患者的身体状况、残疾程度、工作要求、风险和耐受力,以确定适当的工作状态。该患者被宣布为适合工作,并注明为网店仓库员工。她必须通过保持良好的个人卫生和定期就医来照顾好自己,此外还要让其他工人了解她的病情并避免羞辱。常规检查也是治疗工作场所麻风病的重要部分。
