摘要
麻风复发不仅会给病人带来痛苦和经济损失,同时也增加社会对麻风的偏见和恐惧,严重影响消灭麻风的进程。为控制复发,我们从八十年代初,采用短程 MDT 对全市单用 DDS 治愈的病人进行抗复发治疗(复治),累计完成1329例;其中男性917例,女性412例,原属 PB
In Jiangyan City,Jiangsu,1329 persons,who have been cured of leprosy with DDS monotherapy for mean 7.8 years and were PB in 1158 and MB in 171,have received MDT according PB regimen for six months for preventing relapse. And afterwards during follow-up of 1.5 to 12 years 12 relapsed cases(0.9%),being PB 8 (0.69%)and MB 4(2.34%),were found,but among 1632 who did not receive MDT retreatment the relapse rate was so high as 2.75%,being 2.47% in 1457 PB cases and 2.34% in 175 MB ones.The authors thought that a six months retreat- ment with PB regimen of MDT might reduce the re- lapse in the people cured of leprosy with DDS monotherapy.
