RESUMO

INTRODUÇÃO:

Em 1997, após a realização de estudo multicêntrico, duplo cego e randomizado, em nove centros de tratamento de hanseníase na Índia, o Ministério da Saúde adotou o esquema alternativo dose única ROM para casos de lesão única, paucibacilar, sem nervo periférico afetado, índice baciloscópico negativo, em Centros de Referência da doença no Brasil. O estudo se propôs a avaliar a efetividade do esquema ROM em pacientes tratados no período de 1997 a 1999 no Serviço de Dermatologia da Santa Casa de Vitória.

MÉTODOS:

Foram selecionados e tratados com o esquema ROM, 54 pacientes das formas indeterminada e tuberculóide. Estes pacientes foram convocados de março a outubro de 2006 para reavaliação clínica.

RESULTADOS:

Vinte e nove pacientes avaliados (85,2 por cento; IC95 por cento 70-100,4) estavam curados, cinco (14,7 por cento; IC95 por cento 7,4-22,0) recidivaram e 20 pacientes não retornaram; porém, não havia outra notificação de reingresso ao tratamento no banco de dados da Secretaria Estadual de Saúde.

CONCLUSÕES:

O estudo evidenciou taxa de cura de 90,8 por cento e taxa bruta de recidiva de 9,2 por cento, após período de sete a nove anos da dose ROM. O tratamento alternativo ROM demonstrou melhor efetividade para lesão única menor que quatro centímetros e aparecimento há menos de cinco anos.
ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

In 1997, after obtaining a combined multi-state double-blind randomly controlled clinical trial study from nine Indian centers involved in the treatment of Hansen's Disease, the Ministry of Health adapted the single dose ROM Therapy approach in those cases involving the treatment of a single skin lesion, paucibacillary leprosy without evidence of peripheral nerve trunk involvement and indication of negative baciloscope, in the Referral Centers in Brazil. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the single dose ROM Therapy approach in those patients who were treated from the period of 1997 to 1999 in the Ambulatory Dermatologic Unit in the Hospital in Vitória, ES.

METHODS:

Fifty-four patients with tuberculoid and indeterminate leprosy were selected and treated with the single dose ROM Therapy approach. These patients were contacted from March 2006 up and until October 2006 for further clinical reevaluation.

RESULTS:

From the studies conducted, the following results were found to exist 29 patients (85,2 percent; 95 percentCI 70-100,4) were cured, 5 patients (14,7 percent; 95 percentCI 7,4-22,0) relapsed, and 20 patients didn't return; however, there are no additional records of any notification of other treatment(s) in the State Department of Health's informational data banks.

CONCLUSIONS:

The study demonstrated a rate of cure of 90.8 percent and a rate of relapse of 9.2 percent after a period of seven to nine years using the single dose ROM Therapy approach. Additionally, this alternative treatment further demonstrated a better effectiveness for a single skin lesion smaller than four centimeters and with an appearance in less than five years.
