Serum adenosine deaminase (ADA) was studied in 60 patients of different types of leprosy and 50 healthy control subjects. ADA levels in patients with tuberculoid (50.50 +/- 5.22 U/L), borderline (41.14 +/- 3.89 U/L) and lepromatous leprosy (30.10 +/- .03 U/L) were higher than that in controls (17.84 +/- 2.78 U/L), thus correlating with the immunological status of patients. Patients with lepra reaction showed decreased ADA levels and higher grade of lepromin test positivity was associated with increased ADA activity.
对60例不同类型麻风患者和50名健康对照者的血清腺苷脱氨酶（ADA）进行了研究。结核样型麻风患者（50.50±5.22 U/L）、界线类麻风患者（41.14±3.89 U/L）和瘤型麻风患者（30.10±0.03 U/L）的ADA水平高于对照组（17.84±2.78 U/L），因此与患者的免疫状态相关。麻风反应患者的ADA水平降低，麻风菌素试验阳性程度越高，ADA活性越高。
