Histopathological correlation of skin biopsies in 372 leprosy patients was done with clinical diagnosis using Ridley Jopling classification. There was agreement in 62.63% of cases. The correlation was highest in LL (80%) followed by Bl. (70%), BT (66.34%), BB (50%) and TT (46.15%). The other interesting observation was that the number of IL cases diagnosed histopathologically were more when compared to that made clinically.
对372例麻风患者的皮肤活检组织进行病理组织学检查,并与采用里德利·乔普林分类法的临床诊断结果进行对照。62.63%的病例诊断结果相符。相符率在LL型中最高(80%),其次是BL型(70%)、BT型(66.34%)、BB型(50%)和TT型(46.15%)。另一个有趣的观察结果是,经组织病理学诊断的IL型病例数比临床诊断的更多。
