The immunopathology of erythema nodosum leprosum

2016-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Leprosy is a disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, an acid-fast bacillus whose clinical spectrum correlates with the host immune response. Erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) is an immune-mediated inflammatory complication causing high morbidity in affected leprosy patients. A case-control follow-up study was conducted in Ethiopia to test the hypothesis that ENL is associated with impaired immune regulation. In 46 p...
