ABSTRACT
Mycobacterium leprae is virtually non-toxic. After invading the human body, it can grow and reproduce in large quantities in the tissues but does not cause any clinical symptoms. The manifestations of skin, mucous membrane and peripheral nerve damage of leprosy are mainly caused by the immune response of the body to the leprae. Schwann cells can support and nourish nerve fibers. As an important parasitic site of leprosy bacteria, Schwann cells are closely related to leprosy immunity, and the research on these cells is of great significance.
