麻风病是以神经损害为主要特征的慢性感染性疾病。远在1848年 Danielson 和 Bock二氏就注意到了麻风与神经系统之间的关系,神经病变自始至终存在于麻风病全过程,神经病变亦是麻风病诊断和分型的主要依据之一。近年来由于电镜和免疫病理技术的应用,麻风病神经病变的研究也随之深入。 Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease characterized by nerve damage. As early as 1848 Danielson and Bock II noticed the relationship between leprosy and the nervous system. Neuropathy was always present in the whole process of leprosy. Neuropathy was also the main basis for the diagnosis and classification of leprosy. In recent years due to the application of electron microscopy and immunopathology, the study of leprosy neuropathy has also been followed.
