- W4231951153 abstract "At the clinics of Ghatampur and Etawah, established by JALMA in the early period of 1966, the number of newly registered patients had increased up to several hundreds monthly in a few years. Here is reported an analysis which was done about the chief complaints and the clinical features of the newly registered patients of Tuberculoid type in the period of April to August of 1971.The number of Tuberculoid cases was 1, 117 and 62.2% out of total 1, 796 cases newly registered in the period. Male cases were 827 and female 290. The sex rate was 2.85:1 for T-type only and 3.45:1 for the total cases. It could be concluded that the number of female cases were more in T-type than it in other types and groups of the disease. The chief complaints about the skin features were divided into two groups; erythe matous and hypopigmented patches. About 50% of both sexes showed the hypopigmented patches for the chief complaints. In all the cases, we could distinguish the patches clearly, and about 20% of the patients did not show the skin patches as the chief complaints but complained other symptoms; anaesthesia, deformity of the hands and so on.Clinically, 36.0% of male and 41.4% of female cases showed the erythematous patches and all the other cases had the hypopigmented patches. Patients with several patches were observed in 12-17% of both sexes and it seemed that these cases would be included rather in Reactional Tuberculoid or Borderline-Tuberculoid. It was consid ered that some of Tuberculoid cases inclined to Borderline group along with the aging. The result that 80% of total cases complained the skin patches would show that the patients could understand the symptoms of leprosy fairly well. About 19% of male and 12% of female cases complained the symptoms of hypoes thesia, anaesthesia, neuralgia of the extremities and the deformity of hands. It is clearly considered that some patients of T-type accepted the symptoms due to the damage of peripheral nerves as the main signs of the disease.Clinically, the thickness of ulnar nerve was observed most commonly in both sexes. Generally the thickness of the nerves was observed only unilaterally. In many cases, the good combination of skin patch and thickness of skin nerve was observed on the face or the extremities.Other symptoms; plantar ulcer, burning sensation of the extremities, were showed as the chief complaints in only a few cases.In the group of Tuberculoid patients, most people showed the skin patches as the chief complaints, and the other pepole accepted the symptoms due to peripheral nerve damage as the important signs of the disease. Here we could say that the patients had a good knowledge about the clinical features of the disease. Standing on the conclusion, we can carry out effectively the educational scheme for public health especially consider ing the early symptoms of the disease itself." @default.
