Skin slit smears of 46 patients of lepromatous leprosy (16 untreated, 30 long treated) were studied from ear lobules, fingers, elbows and knees. In untreated patients ear lobules gave highest BI, as compared to other sites. MI from ear lobules was higher than elbows and knees but slightly lower than that from fingers. In treated patients sites other than ear lobules yielded solid staining bacilli more frequently. Multiple sites and especially peripheral sites are recommended for study of skin slit smears to discover persistent bacilli.
对46例瘤型麻风患者（16例未经治疗，30例长期治疗）的耳垂、手指、肘部和膝部进行皮肤切开涂片研究。在未经治疗的患者中，与其他部位相比，耳垂的细菌指数最高。耳垂的形态指数高于肘部和膝部，但略低于手指。在接受治疗的患者中，除耳垂外的其他部位更频繁地出现浓染杆菌。建议对多个部位，尤其是周边部位进行皮肤切开涂片研究，以发现残留杆菌。
