title: Electrocardiographic changes in multi bacillary leprosy.
abstract: 14 cases of multi bacillary leprosy (BL and LL) were investigated biochemically and ECG recording was done. Serum cholesterol was found to be raised in 4 out of 14 cases and SGOT was raised in 2 cases. P wave, PR interval and QRS complex did not show any changes, ST segment was depressed in 2 cases, T wave was flat in 2 cases and inverted in one case and Q-Tc interval was prolonged (more than 0.40 secs) in 3 cases.
