A hanseníase lepromatosa difusa (hanseníase Lucio-Latapi) é uma forma especial de hanseníase lepromatosa encontrada apenas na América Central, onde é o tipo predominante. Distingue-se pela infiltração difusa e generalizada da pele por bacilos da hanseníase sem formação de nódulos ou placas. Isso pode produzir uma aparência completa de "rosto de bebê" e perda das sobrancelhas. Os pacientes estão predispostos a uma reação hansênica fulminante do tipo II, que pode resultar em infarto cutâneo disseminado (fenômeno de Lucio) [TAG Dermatologia]. | |||
