ABSTRACT
Serum adenosine deaminase (ADA) was studied in 60 patients of different types of leprosy and 50 healthy control subjects. ADA levels in patients with tuberculoid (50.50 +/- 5.22 U/L), borderline (41.14 +/- 3.89 U/L) and lepromatous leprosy (30.10 +/- .03 U/L) were higher than that in controls (17.84 +/- 2.78 U/L), thus correlating with the immunological status of patients. Patients with lepra reaction showed decreased ADA levels and higher grade of lepromin test positivity was associated with increased ADA activity.
