Brief review diagnostic techniques Hansen’s disease

Hansen´s disease or leprosy constitute an important health problem worldwide and its caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis. In México, during 2009, were registered 555 leprosy cases and the detection rate was less than 0.3 per case 100,000 population. The main mo...

Lepra baciloscopía biopsia PCR. Hansen´s disease or leprosy constitute an important health problem worldwide and its caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis. In México, during 2009, were registered 555 leprosy cases and the detection rate was less than 0.3 per case 100,000 population. The main mode of transmission of microorganisms is the naso-pharyngeal. The criterions for diagnosis of leprosy are: clinical data, bacteriological, immunological and histological analysis. The objective of this article was to review diagnosis techniques Hansen´s disease. The clinic practice is essential to establish the diagnosis of leprosy. However, the gold standard for leprosy diagnosis is the histologic procedure. In recent years other diagnostic techniques such as amplifying Mycobacterium leprae (DNA) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunoassays like Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay ELISA have been developed. La enfermedad de Hansen o lepra constituye un problema importante de salud en todo el mundo, y causada por Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae) y Mycobacterium lepromatosis (M. lepromatosis). En México, en el 2009, se registraron 555 casos de esta enfermedad, y la tasa de detección fue menor de 0.3 por cada 100,000 habitantes. La principal forma de trasmisión de los microorganismos es a través del flujo de la naso-faringe. Los criterios para el diagnóstico de la lepra son: clínicos, bacteriológicos, inmunológicos e histopatológicos. El objetivo de este artículo fue revisar las técnicas diagnósticas de la enfermedad de Hansen. A través de la clínica es posible establecer el diagnóstico de lepra. Sin embargo, el estándar de oro para el diagnóstico definitivo de la lepra es el procedimiento histológico. En los últimos años se han desarrollado nuevas técnicas diagnósticas de lepra como la amplificación del ADN de la Mycobacterium leprae por medio de PCR o detección de antígenos por medio de pruebas inmunológicas usando ELISA.
