ABSTRACT
Serum zinc, copper, calcium and magnesium levels were estimated by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in 56 leprosy patients comprising 14 BT, 12 BB, 11 BL and 19 LL. These findings were evaluated in comparison to 42 normal subjects serving as controls. A significant elevation of serum copper was recorded while reduction in zinc, calcium and magnesium was noted throughout the leprosy spectrum. The findings of our study are of considerable importance and need to be taken note of in the light of delineating these alterations to be the cause or effect of the disease.
