- W2019910579 abstract "To describe ocular manifestations in newly diagnosed borderline lepromatous (BL) and lepromatous leprosy (LL) patients in India.Ocular complications, at enrolment, occurring in all new borderline lepromatous and lepromatous leprosy patients detected by active case finding within the geographically defined leprosy endemic area of the Gudiyattam Taluk in India from 1991 to 1997 who consented to ocular examinations every 6 months, during and 5 years after treatment with multidrug therapy (MDT), were studied.Orbicularis oculi weakness (4.62%), lagophthalmos (4.20%), ectropion (0.42%), trichiasis (0.84%), blocked nasolacrimal ducts (1.68%), pterygium (11.34%), impaired corneal sensation (53%), corneal opacity (10.5%), corneal nerve beading (1.68%), punctate keratitis (1.26%), keratic precipitates (4.62%), iris atrophy (1.68%), and cataract (12.6%) were ocular complications seen in the 301 lepromatous patients at enrolment. 4.6% had blind eyes. Increasing age was associated with ocular complications. 80% of patients were skin smear acid fast bacilli (AFB) positive. The LL/BL ratio was 1:6.4. 71% had some limb deformity. 44% had only leprosy related ocular complications (LROC), 28% had only general ocular complications (GOC) while 14% had both LROC and GOC. Ocular complications were significantly related to leg deformities. Corneal nerve beading was seen most in LL patients (100%) having high bacterial content. Lagophthalmos and muscle weakness were associated with reversal reactions.Corneal nerve beading occurs in LL patients with high bacillary count. Patients with reversal reaction are more likely to present with orbicularis oculi weakness and lagophthalmos. Leprosy related ocular complications and general ocular complications are significant problems in newly diagnosed lepromatous patients. Elderly, deformed, skin smear positive, lepromatous patients are associated with increased ocular morbidity and form a group that require acceptable and accessible eye care." @default.
