Assessment of Clinical, Histopathological, and Bacteriological Findings in Treated Leprosy Patients with Persistent Skin Lesions: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2023 Nov 6:tpmd230084. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.23-0084. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSince the introduction of multidrug therapy (MDT), various disabilities/morbidities due to leprosy have been prevented. However, there is a subset of patients in whom the skin lesions do not resolve completely or remain unchanged despite a full course of MDT, which is a great source of anxiety to the patient and their family members. Hence, we tried to ascertain the putative causes and risk factors of persistent skin lesions (PSLs) by analyzing the clinical, histopathological, bacteriological, and drug resistance patterns. T...

Systemic non-steroidal immunomodulators for oral lichen planus treatment —a scoping review
ConclusionAmong SNSI therapeutic options, methotrexate, and dapsone showed promising efficacy and safety. However, large-scale randomized clinical trials are still needed.Clinical relevanceSNSI have been used in the treatment of recalcitrant OLP; however, so far, it is not clear which are the best options. This scoping review highlights the potential use of methotrexate and dapsone. (Source: Clinical Oral Investigations)
