Ultrastructural study of mouse dorsal root ganglion cultures infected long term with M. leprae.
Ultrastructural changes in the mouse dorsal root ganglion cultures infected long-term with viable M.leprae were studied. Subtle cytomorphological changes and loss of neurites noted in the long-term infected cultures were correlated to early events in the nerve damage.
