A study was undertaken to estimate bacillaemia and M. leprae antigen detection in 54 paucibacillary leprosy patients (TT, BT). Acid-fast bacilli were detected in the blood of 14.8% patients of borderline tuberculoid (BT) leprosy. M. leprae antigen was demonstrated in 48.2% patients of BT leprosy. Slit-skin smears were negative in all these patients. At the end of treatment (6 months of WHO-MDT) all the follow-up blood samples were negative for both bacillaemia and M. leprae antigen in the serum.
开展了一项研究，以评估54例少菌型麻风患者（结核样型、界线类结核样型）的菌血症及麻风杆菌抗原检测情况。在界线类结核样型（BT）麻风患者中，14.8%的患者血液中检测到抗酸杆菌。48.2%的BT麻风患者检测到麻风杆菌抗原。所有这些患者的皮肤涂片均为阴性。治疗结束时（世界卫生组织多药联合化疗6个月），所有随访血样的菌血症及血清中的麻风杆菌抗原均为阴性。
