Prevenção de incapacidades na hanseníase

Abstract

A hanseníase é doença dermatoneurológica, na qual o componente neural é preponderante, ainda que as manifestações cutâneas sejam mais exuberantes. Os novos e efetivos esquemas de poliquimioterapia (PQT) da Organização Mundial da Saúde, adotados pelo Brasil, não necessariamente evitam o dano neural. Na realidade, as melhorias introduzidas na atenção ao paciente por causa da implementação da PQT, aliadas à sua eficácia terapêutica, é que podem ser causa de uma diminuição da ocorrência do dano neural e do desenvolvimento de incapacidades. A prevenção de incapacidades tem sido relegada a um segundo plano, dentre as ações de controle, estando estas centradas no diagnóstico precoce e tratamento adequado dos pacientes. Urge reconduzir as ações de prevenção ao nível de sua indissociabilidade do diagnóstico e tratamento. Prevenir incapacidades significa modificar comportamento, o que é difícil, mormente se tratando de adultos. As técnicas de prevenção são eficazes e conhecidas; assim, o problema da prevenção não está no que fazer e, sim, no como fazer.
