ABSTRACT
A retrospective blind study was carried out on 2640 patients of leprosy to correlate the histopathological and clinical classification of leprosy using the criteria laid down by Ridley and Jopling. There was complete agreement between histopathological and clinical classification in 81.8% of the cases, with one step deviation in 5.1% of the cases. Histopathological diagnosis of indeterminate leprosy in high percentage (15.9%) as against 3.3% of indeterminate leprosy clinically in our series was an interesting feature. Type-wise correlation between histopathological with clinical classification was very high, it being the highest in LL (98%) followed by TT (97%), BT, BB and BL (95%, 89% and 87% respectively).
