Diasserie, Bangladesh 1990: "Spedalskhed - den gamle svøbe" - Nr. 14: En spedalsk dreng. For at behandlingen skal lykkes godt, er det vigtigt at patienter bliver fundet, før der optræder skader. På langt sigt skulle spedalskhedsarbejdet gerne føre til, at patienter kommer i behandling, når de første pletter viser sig. Det er sket med denne dreng, som bedstemor har bragt til behandling på klinikken. Ofte kan det ved få tegn være svært at afgøre, om det er spedalskhed, da symptomerne kan minde om mange hudsygdomme. Og på grund af de sociale konsekvenser er det meget vigtigt ikke at få kaldt nogle spedalske, som ikke er det. En vigtig ting, når man får en ny patient, er at undersøge patientens omgivelser for spedalskhed, og at gentage det med jævne mellemrum, da der kan gå fra måneder til år, fra man bliver smittet, til sygdommen bryder ud Slide Series, Bangladesh 1990: "Leprosy - the old scourge" - No. 14: A leper boy.

Description
Slide Series, Bangladesh 1990: "Leprosy - the old scourge" - No. 14: A leper boy. For successful treatment it is important to find patients, before damage has occurred. In the long term, the leprosy work should preferably lead to treatment, when the first spots appear. It happened with this boy, brought to treatment at the clinic by his grandmother. With only a few signs it may be difficult to determine whether it is leprosy, as the symptoms can resemble many skin diseases. And due to the social consequences it is very essential not to call somebody a leper - not being this. After receiving a new patient, it is important to check the patient's environment for leprosy and to repeat this at regular intervals, as it may take months to years from the time of infection to outbreak of the disease.
