摘要

麻风流行地区流行的热带病可能改变患者的免疫反应，也使麻风反应发作的表现复杂化。在我们的案例中，抗疟疾药物的引入使反应有所缓和。随着麻风病技术人员的减少，反应性发作通常用非甾体抗炎药、类固醇和沙利度胺治疗，忽视了其他热带或其他共存感染的可能性。我们的病例强调了在不明智的干预之前，在流行地区的热带病背景下进行历史、检查和平衡调查的重要性。

Chronic type 2 reaction in lepromatous leprosy with underlying Plasmodium falciparum infection: A case report.

Tropical diseases prevalent in leprosy-endemic areas may alter the immunological patient response and also complicate the presentation of leprosy reactional episodes. The introduction of anti-malarial drugs in our case produced a subsidence of reaction. With dwindling manpower skilled in leprosy, the reactional episodes are very often treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids and thalidomide, neglecting the possibility of other co-existing infections, tropical or other. Our case emphasises the importance of history, examination and balanced investigation in the context of tropical diseases in endemic areas before injudicious intervention.
