ABSTRACT
The authors examined the eyes of 120 leprosy patients comprising of 30 cases each of tuberculoid, indeterminate, borderline and lepromatous leprosy. The investigation included biopsy of the bulbar conjunctiva on the upper temporal quadrant of the right eye. The study patients included both who were untreated, those that were being treated and those who were in observation after the end of treatment. The aim of the study was to identify the presence of M. leprae in the conjunctiva. Four such cases were found one borderline patient with no treatment and three lepromatous patients who were being treated with MDT.
