Seroactivities to Phenolic Glycolipid I of Mycobacterium leprae Among Leprosy Patients in National sorokdo Hospital and Their Children
Abstract
- Using ELlSA, 83 sera from leprosy patients in National Sorokdo Hospital who are clessified bacteriologically positive and 40 sera from patient's children were tested for a.ntibedy to phenolic glycolipid I of M. leprae. The following results were obtained. I. Non. of 40 contact children was pasitive to PGL- I. 2. Patiente with high bacterial indices were more likely to have antibodies to PGL,- 1. Although the antibody level declined, in general, after multi-drug therapy (MDT), t.here were quite a few with high circulating antibodiees to PGL- I even among the patients bacteriologically below 2.
