Methods:
Case
report
of
a
patient
with
borderline
lepromatous
morbus
Hansen
with
reversal
reaction
and
erythema
nodosum
leprosum
while
pregnant.
Results:
It
is
impressed
that
the
preterm
labor
and
low
birth
weight
of
patient's
baby
can
be
associated
with
the
long-term
use
of
methylprednisolone
in
pregnancy,
although
the
use
of
dapsone
which
can
lead
to
anemia
needs
to
be
considered
as
well.
Conclusion:
Administration
of
corticosteroids
for
Morbus
Hansen
patient
with
pregnancy
may
indirectly
affect
fetal
development.
