A significant reduction in salivary immunoglobulins in lepromatous leprosy is recorded as compared to normal subjects. Saliva of undernourished subjects and patients with oral malignant tumors, which were studied as controls, showed an appreciable rise in IgA levels in both. It is suggested that impairment of T cell function, which is associated with lepromatous leprosy, is not responsible for the observed low level of salivary immunoglobulins in lepromatous leprosy.
与正常受试者相比，瘤型麻风患者的唾液免疫球蛋白显著降低。作为对照研究的营养不良受试者和口腔恶性肿瘤患者的唾液中，IgA水平均有明显升高。有人认为，与瘤型麻风相关的T细胞功能损害并非瘤型麻风患者唾液免疫球蛋白水平低的原因。
