Ref.: (LML) MB-patient from Guinea
From: Stefan Strahm, Zürich, Switserland
Dear LML-Readers,
Please find attached (file) the history of a MB-patient from Guinea. We would be interested to know his diagnosis and to have ideas for his treatment. Many thanks in advance.
This 21-year-old man from a village in Guinea (West Africa) situated at the border between forest and savanna was diagnosed with MB leprosy in 2017. He started treatment and was hospitalized in January 2018 with small festering wounds all over his body (Picture 1 and 2). He was treated with antibiotics (Cloxacillin, Metronidazol) and discharged from hospital in October 2018. At the same time, he finished MB-treatment. In May 2019 he was readmitted with wounds on legs, arms, hands and face. Again, he was treated with antibiotics (Cloxacillin, Amoxicillin, Metronidazol) and local antiseptics, until now without success (Pictures 3 and 4).
Dr Stefan Strahm,
