摘要
神经麻风病的特点是神经受累而无明显皮损，这给诊断带来了挑战。本病例报告探讨了多种诊断方法在鉴别纯神经麻风病中的重要性。一名 28 岁的患者出现下肢水肿、疼痛、麻痹和灵敏度降低的症状，接受了各种检查。巴氏涂片检查结果为阴性，而快速 ML 流麻风试验和电神经肌电图检查则支持诊断。这一讨论凸显了采用简便方法进行早期检查的重要性。本研究强调了多学科方法以及快速 ML 流麻风试验和电切镜在诊断神经性麻风病方面的价值。
Neural leprosy investigation using electroneuromyography and the ML Flow rapid test: a case report.
Neural leprosy, which is characterized by nerve involvement without visible skin lesions, presents a diagnostic challenge. This case report examined the significance of diverse diagnostic modalities in the identification of pure neural leprosy. A 28-year-old patient with symptoms of edema, pain, paresthesia, and diminished sensitivity in the lower limbs underwent various tests. A stilt skin smear yielded negative results on bacilloscopy, whereas a Fast ML Flow leprosy test and electroneuromyography supported the diagnosis. This discussion highlights the importance of accessible methods for early investigation. This study emphasizes the multidisciplinary approach and value of the Fast ML Flow leprosy test and electroneuromyography for diagnosing neural leprosy.
