Abstract | Leprosy recurrence is the reappearance of the disease after treatment with current schemes and discharged for cure
and may have variable incubation periods. Methods: This is a descriptive observational study of leprosy recurrence in Espírito Santo
diagnosed between January 2018 and January 2020. Results: One hundred and ninety-two cases were available, of which 30 were
diagnosed with leprosy recurrence. Conclusions: In 25 cases, the incubation period was 5–15 years after the first treatment, favoring
bacillary persistence. In the remaining 5 cases, the disease had recurred after 15 years, pointing to reinfection as none of them exhibited
drug resistance. | pt_BR |
