Article Synopsis
- Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, primarily affecting the skin and peripheral nerves, with few studies focusing on its impacts on nails.
- An observational study in West Java, Indonesia, sought to document nail changes in leprosy patients using dermoscopy, revealing that a significant number of patients experienced various dermoscopic nail abnormalities.
- The findings indicated that most changes occurred in males and younger patients, with longitudinal ridges being the most common nail feature observed, alongside other conditions like transverse lines and subungual hemorrhage.
