Existence of subpolar tuberculoid leprosy was postulated by a few leprologists to explain clinical variations near the tuberculoid pole but failed to precisely identify the same. An attempt has been made to describe the clinical and histological features of subpolar tuberculoid leprosy. 76 cases of the TT-BT range according to Ridley-Jopling classification were examined by detailed clinical, histological and immunological methods. Definite clinical and histological discrepancies from either BT or TTp were seen in 30 (39.4%) cases, confirming the existence of subpolar tuberculoid leprosy (TTs) and thus clarifying the immunological spectrum of leprosy.
一些麻风病学家推测存在亚极型结核样麻风，以解释结核样型极端附近的临床变异，但未能精确识别出这种类型。本文尝试描述亚极型结核样麻风的临床和组织学特征。根据里德利-乔普林分类法，对76例结核样型-界线类偏结核样型范围的病例进行了详细的临床、组织学和免疫学检查。30例（39.4%）病例出现了与界线类偏结核样型或结核样型极端明显的临床和组织学差异，证实了亚极型结核样麻风（TTs）的存在，从而明确了麻风的免疫学谱。
