Comparative Study of Leprom114 Reaction in Indeterminate Leprosy and Controls.

Lepromin test (LT) was done on 100 cases of indeterminate leprosy (IL) and in 100, age and sex matched controls. LT was negative in 98% of IL, but positive in 80% of the controls. Lepromin positive cases showed a tuberculoid picture histopathologically, though the clinical picture was that of IL. There was no co-relation between Fernandez reaction and Mitsuda reaction.
