In the present review, two staining techniques have been compared to evaluate bacteriological index: the Lapeyssonnie and Causse's technique, used in french speaking Africa, and the one recommended by the O.M.S. scientific panel on chemotherapy of leprosy, Thelep. It appears that the former facilitates the finding of a greater number of bacilli. More efficient, it is also easier and faster than the latter one and, consequently, more adapted to logistic constraints attached to the fight against endemic leprosy in Africa.
在本综述中，对两种染色技术进行了比较以评估细菌学指标：在非洲法语区使用的拉佩索尼和考斯技术，以及世界卫生组织麻风病化疗科学小组推荐的Thelep技术。结果表明，前者能发现更多数量的杆菌。它更高效，比后者更简便快捷，因此更适应非洲防治地方性麻风病所面临的后勤限制。
