A study of the serum levels of IgA, IgG, IgM and C3 in well defined cases of lepromatous leprosy has been undertaken. The serum levels of IgA, IgG and IgM were significantly raised in the group of lepromatous leprosy patients (20) compared to healthy controls (20). The C3 level also tends to be increased in these patients. In the 15 cases of LL, studied before and after ENL reaction, the levels of all the immunoglobulins as well as C3 were found to be further increased during ENL and showed a fall during subsidence.
对明确诊断的瘤型麻风病例的血清IgA、IgG、IgM和C3水平进行了一项研究。与健康对照组（20例）相比，瘤型麻风患者组（20例）的血清IgA、IgG和IgM水平显著升高。这些患者的C3水平也有升高趋势。在15例进行了ENL反应前后研究的LL病例中，发现所有免疫球蛋白以及C3的水平在ENL期间进一步升高，并在消退期下降。
