ABSTRACT
Hepatic involvement and hepatitis B surface antigenemia was studied in 80 leprosy patients and results were compared with 50 normal healthy controls. HbsAg was detected in 7.54% of lepromatous leprosy patients as compared to 2% of the normal healthy controls. There was a decrease in albumin and increase in globulin levels with significant decrease in A G ratio. SGPT levels were significantly raised in lepromatous leprosy patients. Histopathological changes were present in 57.1% of lepromatous leprosy and 23.8% of tuberculoid leprosy patients.
