A hanseníase borderline-lepromatosa (BL) é semelhante à hanseníase lepromatosa (virchowiana), mas a presença de alguma resposta imune mediada por células à infecção impede a proliferação irrestrita de bacilos na pele. É caracterizada por grande número de máculas, pápulas e placas mal definidas, com tendência a se distribuir simetricamente. A neuropatia tende a ser do tipo "botas e luvas" difusa. O início do tratamento, no entanto, pode ser acompanhado pela recuperação da imunidade mediada por células e um risco de lesão nervosa grave (reação de aumento/reação Tipo I) [TAG Dermatologia]. | |||

Borderline lepromatous (BL) leprosy is similar to lepromatous leprosy but the presence of some cell-mediated immune response to infection prevents the unfettered proliferation of bacilli in the skin. It is characterised by large numbers of poorly-defined macules, papules and plaques with a tendency to be distributed symmetrically. Neuropathy tends to be of a diffuse "glove and stocking" type. Initiation of treatment, however, may be accompanied by recovery of cell-mediated immunity and a risk of severe nerve damage (upgrading reaction/Type I reaction) [Dermatology TAG]. | |||
