ABSTRACT

Abstract Wade's histoid leprosy (HL) is a rare variant of multibacillary leprosy, with characteristic clinical, immunologic, histopathologic, and bacteriologic features. It is associated with resistance to sulfa drugs or polychemotherapy and is rarely observed in patients who have not undergone prior treatment. Clinically, HL resembles keloid or dermatofibroma. Furthermore, HL is rare in children and is difficult to diagnose even by experts. This report describes a case of HL in a 14-year-old Brazilian boy, who presented with multiple nodular and tumor-like lesions, simulating keloids. He had not undergone prior treatment with anti-leprosy drugs, which accentuates the relevance of this case report.

ABSTRACT

Obesidade e depressão, segundo a OMS, estão entre os maiores problemas de Saúde Pública no mundo. Diversos estudos apontam para importante associação entre ambas, o que pode resultar no agravamento do prognóstico das comorbidades, menor aderência ao tratamento, maior morbimortalidade, assim como comprometimento funcional e psicossocial dos obesos. Este artigo resulta de pesquisa para dissertação de mestrado em Saúde da Família, cujo objetivo foi investigar a percepção de obesos com depressão sobre os fatores envolvidos na manutenção da própria obesidade. Estudo exploratório, qualitativo, realizado em uma unidade de Saúde da Família no Rio de Janeiro. Foram selecionados aleatoriamente 68 usuários obesos, sendo 21 identificados com escore para depressão a partir da aplicação do Inventário Beck de Depressão. Destes, 19 foram entrevistados individualmente e os dados obtidos foram trabalhados a partir da técnica de análise de conteúdo. Destacaram-se, como categorias principais, o sofrimento físico, o sedentarismo, o sofrimento emocional, a insatisfação com a autoimagem, a alimentação inadequada, o convívio familiar, social e a motivação para mudanças. Agrupadas, essas categorias evidenciaram cinco eixos temáticos: a percepção da obesidade, o comportamento alimentar, o ambiente familiar, o retraimento social e a falta de motivação. A análise das percepções dos entrevistados permitiu mapear uma teia complexa de fatores mutuamente reforçadores envolvidos com a manutenção da obesidade, que são agravados quando esta é associada à depressão. Os resultados da pesquisa podem contribuir para subsidiar estratégias de atenção integral e diferenciada à saúde dos obesos, sobretudo os que apresentam depressão.


According to WHO, obesity and depression are among the greatest Public Health problems worldwide. Some studies show important association between these diseases that can worsen the prognostic for co-morbidities, reduce compliance with treatment, increase morbidity and mortality, and deteriorate the functional and psychosocial roles of obese people. This paper comes out from a Master thesis research in Family Health, aiming to investigate the perception of depressed obese people about the factors linked with the maintenance of their obesity. This is a qualitative exploratory study in a Family Health Service in Rio de Janeiro city. Sixty-eight obese people were randomly selected, and, among them, 21 showed depression scores, measured by the Beck Depression Inventory. Out of these, 19 were interviewed and the resulting data were analyzed through the content analysis technique. Some of the main categories found were physical suffering, sedentary behavior, emotional suffering, self-image dissatisfaction, inadequate eating behavior, family and social relationships, and the motivation for change. They were grouped in five thematic axes: the perception of one's obesity, the feed behavior, the family environment, the social retraction, and the lack of motivation. Taken together, the perceptions of these people were mapped in a complex net of mutually reinforcing factors associated with the maintenance of the obesity, and this is aggravated by depression. These results could help to conceive new strategies for an integral and specific care of obese people, mostly those who are depressed.
