Resumen
Objetivo: Identificar los desafíos que enfrentan los pacientes con lepra durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Métodos: El estudio es una revisión integradora, para lo cual se realizó una encuesta de artículos en las bases de datos de la Biblioteca Virtual en Salud (BVS) y PubMed. Los descriptores y combinaciones utilizados fueron: (LEPRA) Y (COVID-19), (LEPRA) Y (COVD-19) Y (PANDEMIA), (LEPRA) Y (PANDEMIA), (LEPRA) Y (COVID-19), (LEPRA) Y (PANDEMIA), (LEPRA) Y (COVID-19) Y (PANDEMIA). Se incluyeron artículos que discutieron la lepra y el desenlace de la enfermedad en la población durante el período de la pandemia, de forma gratuita, en todos los idiomas, publicados desde el inicio de la propagación de la COVID-19, de 2019 a 2022. Resultados: El sistema de salud se reorganizó para tratar de contener la propagación de la infección por SARS-CoV-2. Este hecho llevó a la disminución del número de profesionales disponibles para los sectores de lepra en las unidades de salud, falta de medicamentos, diagnósticos inadecuados y problemas psicológicos para las personas, con subregistro de casos en varios lugares, como Brasil. Conclusión: Se sugiere la formación profesional en el manejo de pacientes con lepra y la utilización de este estudio para delinear planes encaminados a mejorar los programas de salud pública para que no se vean seriamente afectados por factores externos.
