Eighty cases of leprosy including 60 cases of lepromatous type and 20 cases of tuberculoid type, during the period of 1974-75, have been examined for evidence of lymphnode enlargement. Of the 52 cases of enlarged lymphnodes, lymphnode biopsy was done in 43 cases including 38 cases of lepromatous type and 5 cases of tuberculoid type. The lymphnodes have been studied for evidence of any pathological changes and presence of acid-fast bacilli. In cases of lepromatous leprosy, lepromas and acid-fast facilli were seen in 92.2 per cent of the cases and patchy fibrosis was noted in 23.6 per cent of the cases. No amyloid could be demonstrated. In cases of tuberculoid leprosy, only non-specific reticular hyperplasia was noted. No specific granuloma or acid-fast bacilli could be demonstrated. The findings have been described in detail and discussed in the light of previous published data.
1974年至1975年期间，对80例麻风病患者进行了检查，其中包括60例瘤型麻风病患者和20例结核样型麻风病患者，以查找淋巴结肿大的证据。在52例淋巴结肿大的病例中，对43例进行了淋巴结活检，其中包括38例瘤型麻风病患者和5例结核样型麻风病患者。对淋巴结进行了研究，以查找任何病理变化和抗酸杆菌的存在情况。在瘤型麻风病病例中，92.2%的病例可见麻风结节和抗酸杆菌，23.6%的病例可见片状纤维化。未发现淀粉样物质。在结核样型麻风病病例中，仅发现非特异性网状增生。未发现特异性肉芽肿或抗酸杆菌。已根据先前发表的数据对这些发现进行了详细描述和讨论。
