| bcg vaccination of children against leprosy. preliminary findings of the who-controlled trial in burma. | the use of bcg vaccine in the prevention of leprosy has been one of the most important subjects of investigation in the field of leprology in the last 25 years. the action of the vaccine was for many years investigated by determining its effect on the lepromin reaction. field studies were later considered essential to determine whether bcg vaccination would be useful to leprosy contacts, to the child population probably exposed to infection, or to persons persistently lepromin-negative.the inter ... | 1970 | 4246110 |

| the problem of cultivation of mycobacterium leprae. a review with criteria for evaluating recent experimental work. | some criteria are presented to help evaluate papers appearing in the literature claiming successful cultivation of m. leprae either in the absence or in the presence of tissue-cultured cells. recently, electron microscopic studies have definitely shown m. leprae to belong to the genus mycobacterium and its division to occur through transverse section. a survey is given of the mycobacterial strains isolated in the last 10 years from leprosy lesions. these strains belong to taxonomically different ... | 1973 | 4212439 |

| a single skin lesion--an unusual presentation of lepromatous leprosy. | lepromatous leprosy presenting as a solitary lesion with a high bacterial count is a rare occurrence. such a case has been followed at the national hansen's disease center, carville, louisiana, u.s.a., since 1977. the lesion was located on the left elbow and had been present for about nine months. the bacterial index in the lesion was 5+ and the morphological index was 0%, but slit-skin smears elsewhere were negative. the histopathology of the lesion was that of subpolar lepromatous leprosy, and ... | 1985 | 4086919 |
| histology of the mitsuda reaction of healthy adults with no known contacts with leprosy patients. | mitsuda tests were performed on 100 healthy adult brazilian males unrelated consanguineously to leprosy patients and with no known contacts with this disease. three lepromatous patients served as negative mitsuda controls. the lepromin employed was from mycobacterium leprae-infected armadillo tissue prepared according to who standards. clinical response to the lepromin inoculation was graded according to the recommendations of the vi international leprosy congress held in madrid (1953). the hist ... | 1985 | 4086917 |
| leprosy in children one year of age and under. | information obtained from a review of the literature, the united states armed forces institute of pathology files, and from a correspondence survey revealed a total of 91 infants one year of age and under in whom leprosy was diagnosed. biopsy confirmation was available on 19 infants, and in an additional 32 patients the diagnosis of leprosy was considered certain even though biopsy confirmation was not obtained. although the mother was probably the most common source of the infection (29 infants ... | 1985 | 4086915 |

| inappropriate responses to mycobacterium leprae infections--c reactive protein in man and serum amyloid p in mice. | in a study of c-reactive protein (crp) levels in the sera of 77 patients with leprosy, it was found that in the majority of newly diagnosed patients, the level was within the normal range for a healthy malaysian population. elevated levels did occur, but were usually found in patients with complications, and were more likely to occur in patients who had been receiving drug treatment for some time. this suggested that mycobacterium leprae infection by itself does not stimulate crp synthesis and c ... | 1985 | 4042426 |
| biochemical alterations in the serum of armadillos (dasypus novemcinctus) infected with mycobacterium leprae. a preliminary report. | armadillos (dasypus novemcinctus) were inoculated with mycobacterium leprae isolated from lepromas taken from untreated lepromatous patients or from the spleen of an armadillo previously infected with human m. leprae. the effect of the infection on the serum levels of lactic dehydrogenase (ldh), alkaline phosphatase (alkp), glutamate-oxalacetate (got) and glutamate-pyruvate (gpt) transaminases was investigated. in general, there was a good correlation between positive evidences of infection and ... | 1985 | 4020215 |
| the mononuclear phagocyte system in granulomas. | a comparison is made between immunologically induced and non-immunologically induced granulomas in guinea-pigs injected with metals (zirconium and aluminum) or with mycobacteria (bcg vaccine and mycobacterium leprae). immunological granulomas were characterized by epithelioid cells and fibrosis, whereas non-immunological granulomas contained phagocytosing macrophages with little evidence of fibroblast activation. epithelioid cells carry the same specific macrophage antigen as phagocytosing macro ... | 1985 | 4015981 |
| cross-reactivity of antigens from the cytoplasm and cell walls of some corynebacteria and mycobacteria. | leprosy-derived corynebacteria (ldc) are non-acid-fast organisms isolated from leprosy lesions in humans. in this study 20 antigens of native ldc cytoplasm were identified by immunoelectrophoresis, and autoclaving yielded the m1 component, which strongly cross-reacted with antigen 60 of mycobacterium bovis bcg (bacille calmette-guérin) and antigen 7 of mycobacterium leprae. the polysaccharide moiety of m1 was immunologically related to the ldc cell wall polysaccharide previously characterized as ... | 1985 | 3965589 |

| the role of interleukin-2 (il-2) in the specific unresponsiveness of lepromatous leprosy to mycobacterium leprae: studies in vitro and in vivo. | the role of il-2 in the immunological deficiency of lepromatous leprosy patients towards mycobacterium leprae have been studied further. after initial stimulation with m. leprae + il-2, lepromatous lymphocytes could be restimulated with m. leprae alone. the specificity of the responses obtained varied. some patients gave a stronger response to bcg as compared to m. leprae, while in others a stronger response to m. leprae as compared to bcg was obtained. studies of the composition of lymphocytes ... | 1985 | 3936783 |
| leucocyte migration inhibition response of mycobacterium habana with sensitized animals and cells from leprosy patients. | response of mycobacterium habana sensitized mouse cells against habanin (sonicated extract) lepromin (dharmendra) and tuberculin has been studied in the leucocyte migration inhibition test. the homologous antigenic response has evoked maximum inhibition as compared to heterologous antigens but close antigenic association has also been observed with lepromin and tuberculin. with human cells from leprosy patients these antigens have evoked analogous response indicating cross immunogenicity of m. h ... | 1985 | 3935726 |
