Overview

The Ridley Jopling classification and the WHO classification are the two most widely used systems to classify Leprosy. These classification systems are based on clinical, microbiologic and histopathological features, and are used to determine the patient's prognosis and the treatment regimen.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Classification

There are different systems for classifying leprosy. However, the two more common classification schemes include the WHO and the Ridley-Jopling systems.

WHO	Ridley-Jopling	ICD-10	MeSH	Description	Lepromin test	Immune target
Paucibacillary	Tuberculoid ("TT"), Borderline Tuberculoid ("BT")	A30.1, A30.2	Tuberculoid	It is characterized by one or more hypopigmented skin macules and anaesthetic patches, where skin sensations are lost because of damaged peripheral nerves that have been attacked by the host's immune cells.	Positive	Bacillus (Th1)
Multibacillary	Midborderline or Borderline ("BB")	A30.3	Borderline	Borderline leprosy is of intermediate severity and is the most common form. Skin lesions resemble tuberculoid leprosy but are more numerous and irregular; large patches may affect a whole limb, and peripheral nerve involvement with weakness and loss of sensation is common. This type is unstable and may become lepromatous, or may undergo a reversal reaction, becoming more like the tuberculoid form.
Multibacillary	Borderline Lepromatous ("BL"), and Lepromatous ("LL")	A30.4, A30.5	Lepromatous	It is associated with symmetric skin lesions, nodules, plaques, thickened dermis and frequent involvement of the nasal mucosa resulting in nasal congestion and epistaxis but detectable nerve damage is late.	Negative	Plasmid inside Bacillus (Th2)

Ridley Jopling Classification

There are 6 classes in the Ridley Jopling classification scheme. This classification is based on the following:^[4]

Cutaneous elements
Neurological elements
Biopsy findings
Immunological status
Presence of acid-fast bacilli in dermis

Tuberculoid or Paucibacillary Pole

This is the least severe form of the disease. In this form of the disease the following are present:

1 to 3 well-defined lesions with central hypopigmented area and hypoesthesia
Well-developed immune response
Granulomatous inflammation
Rare acid-fast bacilli

In this form of the disease the following are present:

Intermediate, Dimorphous or Borderline State

This last category is divided into 3 subcategories:

Borderline Tuberculoid, or BT

In this form of the disease the following are present:

Progression towards the tuberculoid pole
Increasing cell-mediated immunity
Inflammation of the nerves and skin

Mid-Borderline, Borderline-Borderline, or BB

This is considered to be where the disease usually begins, progressing towards one of the poles afterwards.^[1]

Borderline Lepromatous, or BL

In this form of the disease the following are present:

Progression towards the lepromatous pole
Common before treatment initiation
Loss of cell-mediated immunity

Indeterminate

In this form of the disease the following are present:

Early unspecific lesions
Nerve infiltrates, lacking required criteria for being classified as above mentioned
Used only when there is diagnostic proof of leprosy, from a biopsy sample, with evidence of mycobacterium leprae and perineural infiltrates but the disease is not advanced enough to show the clear patient position in the leprosy classification.

WHO classification

The WHO organization classification scheme is simpler, and it is based upon the number of skin lesions. This simpler classification scheme can be applied in the absence of laboratory support or clinical expertise. It allows a rapid diagnosis, selection and initiation of treatment. The leprosy subtypes include:^[6]^[4]

Paucibacillary or PB

Higher level of immunity
Lower number of bacilli
Up to five skin lesions in total body examination
Requires less intensive treatment

Multibacillary or MB

Lower level of immunity
Higher number of bacilli
Six or more skin lesions in total body examination
Requires intensive treatment

If a skin smear is done and shows a positive result, then that patient will immediately be classified as multibacillary, irrespective of the number of skin lesions identified on physical examination. Despite its ease of use, this classification scheme may unfortunately mis-classify some patients resulting in under treatment of those cases.
