Resumo

Testes cutâneos são utilizados para o acompanhamento de casos de hanseníase, pois constituem um dos parâmetros para a classificação da forma clínica da doença, prognóstico e mesmo para indicação e acompanhamento do tratamento. Estes testes foram desenvolvidos no início do século e utilizam suspensões de bacilos extraídos de lepromas humanos ou de tatus infectados. Neste artigo, revemos as características do teste da lepromina ou de Mitsuda e dos testes alternativos que foram desenvolvidos. Discutimos também o potencial da utilização de antígenos recombinantes como uma possibilidade futura para a obtenção de testes cutâneos mais específicos e mais padronizáveis em relação àqueles obtidos a partir de seres humanos ou de tatus.
