A hanseníase borderline ou dimorfa é observada em pacientes com níveis de resposta imune mediada por células ao Mycobacterium leprae intermediários entre os encontrados na hanseníase tuberculoide e virchowiana. Essa designação pode ser usada para os casos que não foram adicionalmente categorizados como borderline-tuberculoide ou borderline-lepromatosa, e para aqueles classificados como hanseníase mid-borderline (BB). As lesões tipicamente consistem de placas anulares com borda infiltrada eritematosa e centro de aparência quase normal. A hanseníase borderline é inerentemente instável e pode se transformar em qualquer extremidade polar, dependendo da resposta imunológica do indivíduo à infecção [TAG Dermatologia] | |||
