Three Cases of Auricular Pressure Ulcer in Ambulatory Leprotic Patients / 대한이비인후과학회지

ABSTRACT

Pressure ulcer is usually detected in bed-ridden patients but it's not easy to detect a pressure ulcer in ambulatory people. Hansen's disease is developed by infection of Mycobacteria leprae and shows various skin lesions and peripheral neuropathy. We found ambulatory Leprotic patients with auricular pressure ulcer. Therefore we report these cases with literature review.
