Early and total E--rosettes counts were made in the leprosy patients of different clinical types classified histologically and compared with those of healthy controls. The T-cell population in LL cases were found to be significantly lower than in other types of leprosy cases and controls. The study of the E--rosette formation at different times of incubation indicated that any point of observation could be used for comparison. However, early (1 hour--2 hour) counts help to distinguish the LL cases from other types of leprosy. A good correlation was noticed between the percentage of rosettes and lepromin test.
对经组织学分类的不同临床类型麻风患者进行早期和总E玫瑰花结计数，并与健康对照者的计数进行比较。发现LL型病例中的T细胞群体显著低于其他类型的麻风病例及对照者。对不同孵育时间的E玫瑰花结形成进行研究表明，任何观察点均可用于比较。然而，早期（1小时 - 2小时）计数有助于将LL型病例与其他类型的麻风区分开来。观察到玫瑰花结百分比与麻风菌素试验之间存在良好的相关性。
