Prothionamide and dapsone therapy in leprosy--a clinical study.

Combined therapy with prothionamide and dapsone was instituted in fifteen active untreated lepromatous leprosy cases for a period of 18 months. Clinical improvement was good with attainment of zero morphological index in about 66% cases. Bacteriological improvement was rather unsatisfactory as one case only reached zero level. Side effects were observed in few cases necessitating withdrawal of combined therapy and patients' prothionamide compliance was rather unimpressive.

Evaluation of multidrug therapy with rifampicin, clofazimine and D.D.S. in multibacillary leprosy cases.

Rifampicin, Clofazimine and D.D.S. have been tried in fifteen active untreated lepromatous cases for a period of two years. Compared to dapsone monotherapy remarkable clinical and bacteriological improvement was observed with this combined therapy with attainment of negative BI in ten cases. Use of this combination therapy is thus advocated to achieve noninfectivity in a shorter period and to prevent emergence of dapsone resistance thereby causing the path of leprosy control before it becomes unmanageable due to dapsone resistance.

Isolated myoepithelial duodenal hamartoma presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleed.

Myoepithelial duodenal hamartoma, a rare lesion, usually occurs as a part of diffuse gastrointestinal tract polyposis in Peutz-Jegher's and Gardner's syndromes. Solitary duodenal hamartoma in the absence of other manifestations of polyposis syndrome is rare. We report one such patient presenting with massive gastrointestinal bleeding.
