Scope note: Forma principal o polar de la LEPRA en la que las lesiones cutáneas son escasas y están muy bien delimitadas. La afectación de los nervios periféricos es pronunciada y puede ser grave. A diferencia de la LEPRA LEPROMATOSA, la prueba de la lepromina es positiva. La lepra tuberculoide raramente constituye una fuente de infección para otros seres humanos.

Scope note: 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.
