ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to evaluate the orofacial lesions in treated leprosy patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 160 treated patients at Maharogi Seva Samithi, Warora were examined clinically. RESULTS: Of 160 patients studied, 140 (87.5%) was of lepromatous types, 100 patients presented with depressed nasal bridge, 64 presented with hypopigmented macules on face. Intraoral examination revealed tongue abnormalities as a most common finding, with fissured tongue being the commonest feature. CONCLUSION: We conclude that though active lesions of leprosy are not present, manifestations such as fissured tongue may remain in treated leprosy patients.
