Complex Obstetric Case Report: Multigravida at 36 Weeks with Imminent Premature Delivery, Hansen's disease, and Prior Cesarean Section
View through CrossRef
Hansen’s disease, or leprosy, is a chronic granulomatous infection caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium Mycobacterium leprae. Pregnancy triggers leprosy in 10–25% of women because of immune disturbances, which affect the disease’s course. This study reports the case of a 26-year-old pregnant woman who presented with the chief complaint of abdominal cramps with a contraction every 10 min. The patient admitted to experience vaginal discharge since the onset of pregnancy, without itching or odor. She also revealed a history of leprosy since 2020, which manifested as lumps around the ears, face, and legs, along with numbness at the extremities. She started treatment in 2021 with multi-drug therapy (MDT) but self-discontinued at 14 weeks of pregnancy because of nausea and weakness. The management plan includes dexamethasone ( 12 mg ) intramuscularly to enhance fetal lung maturity, nifedipine ( 10 mg ) every 6 h to suppress preterm contractions, and dermatovenereological assessment to address the patient’s history of Hansen’s disease. A joint conference is planned to discuss and coordinate the management approach. This study underscores the importance of proper management with WHO-recommended multidrug therapy (MDT) comprising rifampicin, dapsone, and clofazimine. Overall, effective management strategies are crucial to prevent permanent nerve, skin, limb, and eye damage in mothers and infants affected by leprosy.Laporan Kasus: Multigravida Hamil 36 Minggu dengan Partus Prematurus Imminens, Morbus Hansen, dan Bekas Sectio CessariaAbstrakPenyakit Hansen, atau lepra, adalah infeksi granulomatosis kronis yang disebabkan oleh bakteri intraselular obligat Mycobacterium leprae.
