 Leprosy- A chronic granulomatous infection caused by MYCOBACTERIUM LEPRAE. The granulomatous lesions are manifested in the skin, the mucous membranes, and the peripheral nerves. Two polar or principal types are lepromatous and tuberculoid.
- 030 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis
Lepromatous leprosy (type l)- A chronic communicable infection which is a principal or polar form of LEPROSY. This disorder is caused by MYCOBACTERIUM LEPRAE and produces diffuse granulomatous skin lesions in the form of nodules, macules, or papules. The peripheral nerves are involved symmetrically and neural sequelae occur in the advanced stage.
- 030.0 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis
- 030.0 contains 9 index entries
Tuberculoid leprosy (type t)- A principal or polar form of LEPROSY in which the skin lesions are few and are sharply demarcated. Peripheral nerve involvement is pronounced and may be severe. Unlike lepromatous leprosy (LEPROSY, LEPROMATOUS), the lepromin test is positive. Tuberculoid leprosy is rarely a source of infection to others.
- 030.1 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis
- 030.1 contains 13 index entries
Indeterminate leprosy (group i)- 030.2 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis
- 030.2 contains 2 index entries
Borderline leprosy (group b)- A form of LEPROSY in which there are clinical manifestations of both principal types (lepromatous and tuberculoid). The disease may shift toward one of these two polar or principal forms.
- 030.3 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis
- 030.3 contains 3 index entries
Other specified leprosy- 030.8 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis
- 030.8 contains 1 index entry
Leprosy unspecified- A chronic granulomatous infection caused by MYCOBACTERIUM LEPRAE. The granulomatous lesions are manifested in the skin, the mucous membranes, and the peripheral nerves. Two polar or principal types are lepromatous and tuberculoid.
- 030.9 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis
- 030.9 contains 5 index entries
