A hanseníase lepromatosa (virchowiana) ocorre em indivíduos com uma resposta imune mediada por células pobre ou ausente à infecção pelo Mycobacterium leprae. Isso permite que os bacilos se multipliquem sem obstáculos na pele e nos nervos (hanseníase multibacilar). É caracterizada por múltiplas máculas, pápulas, nódulos e placas eritematosas mal definidas, que se distribuem amplamente, mas geralmente de forma simétrica, pelo corpo. O rosto e os membros são localizações de predileção. Uma neuropatia periférica simétrica das mãos e pés está comumente presente [TAG Dermatologia]. | |||
