Abstract:
We had given the Anti-PGL-1 ELISA test to the 235 leprosy patients in our Hospital from July 1999 to Aug 2000. There are 48 patients(20.4%) who are over 200 PGL-1 Ab score and 11 patients(4.7%) who are over 500. The patients who are over 500 of PGL-1 Ab score are all lepromatous leprosy and they have been treated from 5 to 49 years. Two patients among them are positive patients and 9 patients are to be observed only I think that they need to be followed up and if the score of Ab has incresed. We suspect that those patients will become active.
