Greater auricular sensory nerve conduction was performed in 18 'control' subjects (36 nerves) and normal values for various parameters were determined. In 10 (16 nerves) of the 12 (24 nerves) leprosy patients in whom similar study was performed, abnormal conduction was found. All the eight thickened nerves and 8 of 16 clinically normal nerves in leprosy patients were found to have electrophysiological abnormalities. The usefulness of this procedure in the diagnosis of leprosy is emphasised.
对18名“对照”受试者（36条神经）进行了耳大感觉神经传导检查，并确定了各项参数的正常值。在12名（24条神经）接受类似检查的麻风病患者中，有10名（16条神经）发现传导异常。在麻风病患者中，所有8条增粗神经以及16条临床正常神经中的8条均发现有电生理异常。强调了该检查方法在麻风病诊断中的作用。
