“…25 In Dhaka, Bangladesh, a male-to-female ratio of 5:4 was found. 24 In Brazil, a study that evaluated the epidemiological profile of leprosy over 20 years showed higher detection among men, and an increase in the male-to-female ratio to 1.09 by the end of the period studied. 26 Results similar to those obtained in this study, with a higher occurrence among women, were identified in other Brazilian studies.…”

“…The results from this study regarding the epidemiological characteristics of new leprosy cases showed that most of the patients were women, older than 15 years of age and living in urban areas. Leprosy affects both sexes, but the proportion of cases among men is higher than among women, 23,24 at a ratio of between 1.5 and 2. 25 In Dhaka, Bangladesh, a male-to-female ratio of 5:4 was found.…”

Background: Brazil has the second highest prevalence of leprosy worldwide. Autoregressive integrated moving average models are useful tools in surveillance systems because they provide reliable forecasts from epidemiological time series. Aim: To evaluate the temporal patterns of leprosy detection from 2001 to 2015 and forecast for 2020 in a hyperendemic area in northeastern Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using monthly leprosy detection from the Brazil information system for notifiable diseases. The Box–Jenkins method was applied to fit a seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model. Forecasting models (95% prediction interval) were developed to predict leprosy detection for 2020. Results: A total of 44,578 cases were registered with a mean of 247.7 cases per month. The best-fitted model to make forecasts was the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average ((1,1,1); (1,1,1)). It was predicted 0.32 cases/100,000 inhabitants to January of 2016 and 0.38 cases/100,000 inhabitants to December of 2020. Limitations: This study used secondary data from Brazil information system for notifiable diseases; hence, leprosy data may be underreported. Conclusion: The forecast for leprosy detection rate for December 2020 was < 1 case/100,000 inhabitants. Seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model has been shown to be appropriate and could be used to forecast leprosy detection rates. Thus, this strategy can be used to facilitate prevention and elimination programmes.

“…[19][20][21] However, risk factors for leprosy and tuberculosis coinfection include poor socioeconomic status, malnutrition, immunocompromised status (immunosuppression induced by HIV infection or chemotherapy), and diabetes. 1,22 In the present case series, the use of steroids in the treatment of leprosy was one of the most frequent factors that may increase the susceptibility to developing tuberculosis. HIV coinfection was in one case.…”

Background: Leprosy and tuberculosis are two of the oldest and most common mycobacterial infections, caused by Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacteium lepramatosis for leprosy and Mycobacterium tuberculosis for tuberculosis. Dual infections have been known since ancient times; however, cases remain rarely reported in the literature, even in countries where both diseases are endemic, such as Madagascar. Purpose: We report a case series of simultaneous occurrence of leprosy and tuberculosis. Patients and Methods: In this retrospective study, we reviewed the medical records of patients with leprosy registered at the

Occurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis with leprosy is known but association of cutaneous tuberculosis with leprosy is rare. We report a case of borderline lepromatous leprosy coexistent with tuberculosis verrucosa cutis in a 29-year-old male, who presented with multiple skin coloured nodules and hyperkeratotic scaly lesions of 3-month duration. Dual infections are associated with high mortality and morbidity. Therefore early diagnosis and management helps to reduce mortality and to mitigate the effects of morbidity.
