Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Trotz internationaler Bemühungen zu Kontrolle und Elimination vernachlässigter tropischer Erkrankungen („neglected tropical diseases“, NTD) stellen diese für viele in Armut lebende Menschen nach wie vor eine massive Bedrohung dar. Lepra und Buruli-Ulkus, 2 mykobakterielle Erkrankungen, betreffen noch heute teilweise überproportional die pädiatrische Bevölkerung. Fälle in Deutschland werden vereinzelt bei Migranten diagnostiziert.

Ziel der Arbeit

Spät behandelte Fälle münden häufig in chronische Verläufe mit bleibenden Behinderungen. Exemplarisch wird auf die Herausforderungen bezüglich Übertragung, klinischer Betreuung, Behandlung und Prävention von Behinderungen sowie auf aktuelle Forschungsthemen eingegangen.

Material und Methoden

Die Arbeit beruht auf einer selektiven Literaturrecherche bei PubMed und in der WHO-Dokumentenbank sowie auf persönlicher Feld- und Klinikerfahrung beider Autorinnen mit Patientenkontakt und Austausch mit Gesundheitspersonal vor Ort.

Schlussfolgerung

Langfristige Investitionen in Forschung und Stärkung von Strukturen der Gesundheitssysteme in Endemiegebieten von Lepra und Buruli-Ulkus, mit Fokus auf die Ausbildung von Gesundheitspersonal, können durch Früherkennung und Einleitung adäquater Therapie bei komplizierten Krankheitsverläufen chronische Behinderungen verhindern helfen. Das Wissen um Übertragung, klinische Erscheinungsbilder, verschiedene Verlaufsformen und Behandlungsmöglichkeiten ist relevant für Pädiater, die Patienten mit Migrationshintergrund betreuen.
