Skin biopsies from clinically normal skin of the scalp, axillary and groin regions in 20 lepromatous leprosy patients revealed significant histopathological findings in upto 25 percent of the patients. The positive findings could, perhaps, be enhanced by studying larger skin materials from these body areas. Indeed, no skin area appears to be immune from invasion by Myco. leprae.
对20例瘤型麻风患者头皮、腋窝和腹股沟区临床正常皮肤进行的皮肤活检显示，高达25%的患者有显著的组织病理学发现。通过研究这些身体部位更大的皮肤样本，阳性发现可能会增加。事实上，似乎没有哪个皮肤区域能免受麻风杆菌的侵袭。
