Smears from 74 known smear negative cases of leprosy were examined after staining with Auramine 'O'. 40.54% cases were positive for fluorescent bacilli. 60.52% of cases on treatment and 19.44% cases after RFT had fluorescent bacilli in the skin smears. Results suggest the possibility of a non acid-fast fluorescent positive variant of M. leprae.
对74例已知麻风涂片阴性病例的涂片用金胺“O”染色后进行检查。40.54%的病例荧光杆菌呈阳性。治疗中的病例有60.52%、完成反应停治疗后的病例有19.44%的皮肤涂片中有荧光杆菌。结果提示存在麻风杆菌的一种非抗酸荧光阳性变异体的可能性。
