  abstract = {<p>Certain structures which indicate probable involvement of a filamentous phase in life cycle of M. leprae have been noted in preserved skin biopsy suspensions from lepromatous leprosy cases. These include (i) filaments with empty or pink round spaces within them (ii) conidia-like structures and (iii) membranes with acid fast bacilli. These structures were rare in the fresh material.</p>},
