Resumo
A hanseníase é uma doença crônica que pode ter seu curso alterado por episódios reacionais do tipo 1 e do tipo 2 ou de eritema nodoso hansênico (ENH) . A talidomida é a medicação de eleição para controle do episódio de ENH desde 1965. No entanto, esses episódios podem se apresentar de forma repetitiva, com consequentes danos ao paciente. Com o intuito de se evitar esses episódios, após o controle dos mesmos com a dose tradicional, utilizou-se a dose de 100mg/d, por um período de seis meses, com acompanhamento por outros seis meses após a suspensão da talidomida. Foram avaliados 42 pacientes multibacilares (MB), 39 (92,85%) da forma virchoviana (V) e três (7,15%) da dimorfa (D), que apresentaram ENH, quer fosse o primeiro episódio ou de repetição. Quanto ao sexo 33 (78,6%) do masculino e nove (21,4%) do feminino. As idades variaram de 18 a 84 anos, com predomínio acima de 49 anos. Observou-se que 100% dos pacientes não apresentaram episódio reacional durante o uso dessa dose de talidomida. Após a suspensão, durante o período de observação clinica, 33 (78,6%) dos pacientes não apresentaram episódio reacional e apenas nove (21,4%), todos da forma virchoviana, o apresentaram, de forma leve, sem outros sinais e sintomas, controlados apenas com anti-inflamatórios não hormonais, não sendo necessária a reintrodução da talidomida. Não foram observados efeitos adversos da droga. Os autores sugerem o uso da talidomida, na dose de 100mg/dia como manutenção, que se mostrou efetiva, impedindo a repetição dos episódios reacionais tipo 2
Hansen’s disease is a chronic disease that can have its course interrupted by reactional episodes of type 1 and type 2 or ENL. Thalidomide is the election medication for the control of ENL episodes since 1965. However, these episodes can happen repeatedly with consequent damages to the patient. In order to avoid these episodes, after controlling them with the traditional dosage, an extra dose of 100mg/d was used in a period of six months, with attendance during other six months after suspending thalidomide. A total of 42 MB patients have been evaluated, 39 (92,85%) of type V and 3 (7,15%) of type D, that presented ENL, whether first episode or repeatedly. To mention their gender, 33 (78,6%) were male and 9 (21,4%) were female. The ages varied between 18 to 84 years old, but most were older then 49. It has been observed that 100% of patients did not present reactional episode during the usage of this dosage of thalidomide. After supension, during the period of clinic observation, 33 (78,6%) patients did not present reactional episode and only 9 (21,4%) patients, both with lepromatous type, presented it, in a light form, with no other signs and symptoms, controlled only with non hormonal anti-iflammatories, showing no need for thalidomide reintroduction. No adverse effect has been observed. The authors suggest the usage of thalidomide, in doses of 100mg/d for maintenance, which they showed to be effective, avoiding the repetition of the reactional episodes of type 2
