Thermal sensibility tester. Can it be used to find early nerve damage in leprosy?
Sir, The newly-developed 'Thermal Sensibility Tester' , 1 ,2 has been used for several studies in the diagnosis of leprosy with interesting results, We discovered that it has not been clarified whether this Thermal Sensibility Tester was also designed for testing for early peripheral nerve damage (hand and foot) in leprosy patients, Some believe that this tester could be used in the fol low-up ...
متن کاملLewy body disease: can we diagnose it?
The authors assessed the accuracy of published clinical criteria and their own modifications of those criteria in diagnosing Lewy body disease (LBD). Clinical diagnoses were made by two clinicians, blinded to neuropathologic diagnoses, using the Rochester Alzheimer's Disease Center database and traditional medical records. Neuropathologic diagnoses were made according to published guidelines. R...
متن کاملA Study of the Conduction Velocity of Sensory Fibers 'of the Ulnar Nerve in leprosy!
Measurement of peripheral nerve conduction in man dates back to von HelmhQltz ( 1:' . Ili) and now forms a part of routine clinical examination in various neuropathic conditions. Prominent in this group is leprosy, but it is surprising to note in an editorial by Wade ( 18) that as late as 1954 sufficient information on the conduction velocity of peripheral nerves in leprosy was not available. I...
متن کاملMotor nerve conduction velocity studies of the ulnar nerve in patients with leprosy.
Many of the disabling fea tures of leprosy ~re caused by peripheral nerve impairment involving both sensory and motor modalities. Pathologic changes in an affected nerve are usually seen at a site where the nerve passes over a bone or joint, or where the nerve is superficial. In the arm the most commonly involved nerves, in order of frequency, are the ulnar at the elbow and the median at the wr...
متن کاملNerve abscess in leprosy: a retrospective study.
Nerve abscesses occur, both in tuberculoid and lepromatous leprosy. We studied 20 patients who had undergone surgery for nerve abscess in mixed peripheral and cutaneous nerves. Details of these cases and the controversial question as to how long the question PB regimen should be continued are discussed.
