ABSTRACT
Three cases of leprosy were successfully treated with a tuberculo-protein complex, Tubercin-3, which was prepared from Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Chung( J. Korean Med. Ass. 17:427-431, 1974) and no noticeable side effects were observed. The three cases were brought to us without leprosy medication since their disease was recently diagnosed. Daily inoculations of Tubercin-3, 1.0 microgram on the forearm, subcutaneously for 8 months in Case 1, 7 months in Case 2, and 6 months in Case 3, cleared them of their lepromatous lesions.
