Resumo: Introduction: Mycobacterium leprae is a microorganism that cause leprosy; it has a long, silent, and consumptive evolution. Case Report: twin children with three years old were contactants of a leprosy patient in the family. The two patients have well-defined and irregular skin lesions. Also, they have the BCG-vaccine scar. They were confirmed positive to Mycobacterium by histopathological analysis. Discussion: Especially under five years old, diagnoses are rare and difficult because they simulate other diseases, especially rheumatology. These diagnoses are epidemiological alarms for endemic areas. It shows the importance of symptoms in children and the screening in patients' contact already identified.

Caso Clínico: gemelos fraternos, de tres años de edad, estuvieron en contacto con un padre con la lepra virchowiana. Ambos pacientes presentan lesiones cutáneas bien definidas e irregulares previamente tratadas como micosis y cicatriz de BCG. Fueron confirmados positivos para Mycobacterium por análisis histopatológico de la piel. Discusión: especialmente, con menos de cinco años, los diagnósticos de la lepra son raros y difíciles porque simulan otras enfermedades. Estos diagnósticosson alarmas epidemiológicas para zonas endémicas y muestran la importancia de la sintomatología en niños y el seguimiento de los contactos de los pacientes.Introdução: o diagnóstico clínico da hanseníase em crianças é particularmente difícil. Relato de Caso: crianças gêmeas bivitelinas, com três anos de idade, eram contactantes de pai com hanseníase Virchowiana. Os dois pacientes têm lesões cutâneas bem definidas e irregulares, anteriormente tratadas como micoses e uma cicatriz de BCG. Foram confirmados positivos para Mycobacterium por análise histopatológica da pele. Discussão: especialmente, com menos de cinco anos, os diagnósticos de hanseníase são raros e difíceis porque simulam outras doenças. Esses diagnósticos são alarmes epidemiológicos para áreas endêmicas e mostram a importância dos sintomas em crianças e o rastreamento nos contactantes dos pacientes.Instituto Lauro de Souza Lima da Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de São Paulo2022-11-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologia/article/view/3622710.47878/hi.2022.v47.36227Hansenologia Internationalis: leprosy and other infectious diseases; Vol. 47 (2022); 1-7Hansenologia Internationalis: hanseníase e outras doenças infecciosas; v. 47 (2022); 1-71982-5161reponame:Hansenologia Internationalis (Online)instname:Instituto Lauro de Souza Lima (ILSL)instacron:ILSLporenghttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologia/article/view/36227/36989https://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologia/article/view/36227/37635Copyright (c) 2022 José Cabral Lopes , Pietra Andrade de Osti, Leticia Rossetto da Silva Cavalcante, Ciro Martins Gomes, Amílcar Sabino Damazohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLopes , José Cabralde Osti, Pietra AndradeCavalcante, Leticia Rossetto da SilvaGomes, Ciro MartinsDamazo, Amílcar Sabino2023-11-16T17:04:46Zoai:ojs.periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br:article/36227Revistahttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologiaPRIhttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologia/oaihansen_int@ilsl.br || hansenologia.internationalis@gmail.com || periodicossp@saude.sp.gov.br1982-51610100-3283opendoar:2023-11-16T17:04:46Hansenologia Internationalis (Online) - Instituto Lauro de Souza Lima (ILSL)false
