Resorption of the anterior nasal spine and alveolar bone in the anterior maxilla was measured in 39 patients with lepromatous leprosy in Mali. Bone resorption occurred in both of these sites, but resorption in one did not predict resorption in the other. These data are interpreted to mean that resorptions of bone anterior (nasal spine) or inferior (alveolar bone) to bacillary populations in the nasal mucosa of patients with lepromatous disease in Mali occur independently.
在马里，对39例瘤型麻风患者的前鼻棘和上颌前部牙槽骨的吸收情况进行了测量。这两个部位均出现了骨吸收，但一个部位的吸收并不能预测另一个部位的吸收情况。这些数据被解释为，在马里瘤型麻风患者鼻黏膜中，杆菌群体前方（鼻棘）或下方（牙槽骨）的骨吸收是独立发生的。
