Thirty-five adult female patients with bacillary positive leprosy were studied to determine its effect on menarche, menstrual cycle, fertility, and menopause. Endometrial biopsies studied in 26 patients showed no evidence of leprosy bacilli granuloma or tubercle bacilli on culture. Menstrual blood examined in six patients with bacillemia did not reveal leprosy bacilli. Products of conception examined from two patients were negative for granulomata or leprosy bacilli. Leprosy was found to have no direct effect on menarche, menstruation, fertility, and menopause.
对35名成年女性麻风杆菌阳性患者进行了研究，以确定麻风病对初潮、月经周期、生育能力和绝经的影响。对26名患者进行的子宫内膜活检显示，培养物中未发现麻风杆菌肉芽肿或结核杆菌。对6名菌血症患者的月经血进行检查，未发现麻风杆菌。对2名患者的妊娠产物进行检查，结果显示肉芽肿或麻风杆菌呈阴性。研究发现，麻风病对初潮、月经、生育能力和绝经没有直接影响。
