RESUMO
Pacientes com Mal de Hansen (MH) podem se apresentar com quadro clínico e laboratorial sugestivo de doenças reumáticas, o que exige um exercício cuidadoso de diagnósticos diferenciais. Descreve-se aqui o caso de uma jovem com MH que se apresentou com lesões cutâneas sugestivas de vasculite, obstrução de vasos fibulares, FAN e anticorpos antifosfolípides positivos sem muitos estigmas da doença cutânea, ilustrando essa dificuldade.
ABSTRACT
Patients with Hansen's disease (HD) may present themselves with clinical and laboratorial features that resemble rheumatic disorders. This requires a careful exercise of differential diagnosis. We describe here a case of a young woman with HD that presented with vasculitic like lesions, fibular vessels obstruction, ANA and antiphospholipid antibodies without typical signs of cutaneous disease, illustrating this clinical difficulty.
