Immunologic aspects of leprosy.
Twenty seven cases of leprosy from Egypt were examined. Monocytes were found to be high in peripheral blood in lepromatous cases. The percentage of small lymphocytes in blood was increased in tuberculoid patients. The immunoglobulins were higher in all types of leprosy patients than in normal persons.
