Part 1:
Classification of leprosy: Borderline
Lepromatous Leprosy (BL)
In borderline
lepromatous leprosy the lesions are numerous, showing a marked
tendency towards symmetrical distribution.
The lesions
are moderately well defined and little hypopigmented.
Usually large
and small plaques, dome shaped lesions and nodules are
present, some times with a slightly hypopigmented halo around
some lesions.
Skin smears
from the lesions are strongly positive. Large globi are absent
but small globi may be present.
