CLINICAL IMPRESSION Salient Features erythematous ill-defined asymptomatic patches (upper extremities) into multiple erythematous to skin-colored plaques and nodules 1.5x 3.5 to 2.0 x 4.0 cm (malar area, helix of ears, upper extremities, thighs) (+) leonine facies (-) madarosis Lepromatous type of Leprosy (Hansen’s Disease)
7
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS Hansen’s Disease (other types) Erythema multiforme Fixed drug reaction Seborrheic dermatitis Cellulitis Urticaria Exfoliative dermatitis
8
Seborrheic Dermatitis also known as seborrhea common non-contagious condition of skin areas rich in oil glands (the face, scalp, and upper trunk) marked by flaking (overproduction of skin cells) and sometimes redness and itching (inflammation) of the skin varies in severity from mild dandruff of the scalp to scaly, red patches on the skin.
9
Seborrheic Dermatitis Epidemiology: with redness and flaking = 3–5% of the population affects all races; worse in men, and starts after puberty (although babies have a version called cradle cap) and peaks around the age of 40 and then may improve Cause: due to a combination of an over production of skin oil and irritation from a yeast, Pityrosporum ovale. Risk: Stress, fatigue, weather extremes, oily skin, infrequent shampoos or skin cleaning, use of lotions that contain alcohol, skin disorders (such as acne), or obesity Familial

Seborrheic Dermatitis
13
The diagnosis is based on the appearance and location of the skin lesions In rare cases - skin biopsy to r/o other diseases Therapeutic Plans Shampoo several times a week Selenium sulfide, zinc pyrithionate, tar and resorcin shampoos Topical Antifungals Ketoconazole 2% cream Corticosteroid creams

27
Indeterminate Leprosy earliest and mildest form of the disease few numbers of hypopigmented macules (cutaneous lesions) loss of sensation is rare. most cases progress into a later form, although patients with strong immunity may either clear the infection on their own or persist in this form without progressing.
29
Tuberculoid Leprosy one large red patch with well-defined raised borders or a large hypopigmented asymmetrical spot lesions become dry and hairless loss of sensation may occur at site of some lesions tender, thickened nerves with subsequent loss of function are common spontaneous resolution may occur in a few years or it may progress to borderline or rarely lepromatous types
30
Tuberculoid Leprosy organisms present at low to undetectable levels low infectivity granulomas and local inflammation peripheral nerve damage normal serum immunoglobulin levels normal T – cell responsiveness specific response to M. leprae antigens

32
Borderline Tuberculoid Leprosy similar to tuberculoid type except that lesions are smaller and more numerous cutaneous lesions are numerous and less well defined anesthesis is less severe disease may stay in this stage or convert back to tuberculoid form, or progress
