摘要

麻风病是一种被忽视的热带疾病,尽管努力消除这种疾病,但它仍然存在于世界各地。居住在中非共和国农村地区的BaAka Pygmy社区是最易受麻风病影响的人群之一。这项研究的目的是评估巴阿卡-俾格米人的麻风病流行率。2019/2020年,一家流动诊所定期探访居住在Dzanga Sangha保护区的人们。诊断是基于该疾病的临床表现。评估皮肤和四肢的变形。在12个月的时间里,诊断出26例麻风病,25名患者接受了治疗。其中24名患者是BaAka俾格米人,10名是妇女,7名是15岁以下的儿童,8名被诊断为2级残疾。现有数据显示,由于传播率高,赞加-桑哈地区的麻风病没有得到很好的控制。应加紧努力诊断和报告新的麻风病病例。

Leprosy - neglected tropical disease in Pygmies inhabiting Central African Republic.

Leprosy is a neglected tropical disease that is still present worldwide despite efforts aimed at elimination of the disease. The BaAka Pygmy community inhabiting rural areas in the Central African Republic is one of the most leprosy-vulnerable populations. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of leprosy in the BaAka Pygmy population. People living in the Dzanga Sangha protected area were regularly visited by a mobile clinic in 2019/2020. The diagnosis was based on the clinical manifestation of the disease. Deformations of skin and extremities were assessed. In a 12-month period 26 cases of leprosy were diagnosed and 25 patients received treatment. 24 of those patients were BaAka Pygmies, 10 were women, 7 were children under 15 years old and 8 were diagnosed with grade 2 disability. Presented data shows that leprosy in Dzanga Sangha region is not well controlled due to the high transmission rate. Efforts to diagnose and report new leprosy cases should be intensified.
