Hormone profile were carried out in 35 male cases of leprosy. They were divided into tuberculoid leprosy, borderline leprosy, lepromatous leprosy and lepra reaction. Serum testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone, Luteinizing hormone, and Oestradiol level were measured in these cases of leprosy. It was observed that serum testosterone were significantly low in lepromatous leprosy (P less than 0.001) and lepra reaction (P less than 0.01). The serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone were significantly high in lepromatous leprosy (P less than 0.02) and lepra reaction (P less than 0.05). Serum Oestradiol was raised in approx. 60% cases in borderline leprosy, lepromatous leprosy and lepra reaction.
对35例男性麻风病患者进行了激素水平检测。他们被分为结核样型麻风、界线类麻风、瘤型麻风及麻风反应。检测了这些麻风病患者的血清睾酮、促卵泡激素、促黄体生成素及雌二醇水平。结果发现,瘤型麻风(P<0.001)及麻风反应(P<0.01)患者的血清睾酮水平显著降低。瘤型麻风(P<0.02)及麻风反应(P<0.05)患者的血清促卵泡激素和促黄体生成素水平显著升高。在界线类麻风、瘤型麻风及麻风反应患者中,约60%的病例血清雌二醇水平升高。
