A retrospective study of clinico-histopathological correlation in leprosy.

ABSTRACT

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium Leprae and is characterized by well-recognized pathological changes. But there are various disagreement in clinical type and histological finding of leprosy. We observed highest parity in LL and TT group followed by histoid, BT, BL, BB, & indeterminate respectively. There was 10% minor disagreement (difference of one group) and 5% major disagreement (difference of two or more group). Non-specific histological finding was present in 20% cases.
