ABSTRACT
We evaluate the water content, hygroscopicity and water holding capacity in 40 healthy individuals and 17 leprosy patients by skin surface hydrometer(IBS Inc, Japan), and the correlation between the nerve destruction and the hydration state. In Eiealthy individuals the measuring sites were the flexor and extensor surfaces of the arm, forearm, thigh and leg, In leprosy patients we measured on the extensor surface of forearm with shows abnormal sensation, and opposite ar neighboring skin which shows normal sensation. The results are as follows 1. The water content of healthy individuals is highest in the flexor surface af arm (49. 50 + 18.38ug ) and lowest in the extensor surface of leg(30.75 -12.09ug) 2. The hygrosccpicity of healthy individuals is highest in the flexor surface of arm(296. 30 + 70.75ug ) and lowest in the extensor surface of leg(24$. Q7+5) 5ppg) 3. The water content of the extensor surface of lorearm in leprosy patients, which .hows abnormal sensation, is decreased(16. 35 +20. 82 ug) and it is statisti calli significant when compared with healthy individuals(p<0.005). 4. The hygroscopicity of the extensor surface of forearm in leprosy patients. which shows abnormal sensation, is decreased(94. 29 + 71. 62 ug) and it is statistically significant when compared with opposite or neiphboring skin and healthy individuals(p<0. 005)
