  abstract = {<p>A study was undertaken to find out the usefulness of determining the circulating levels of beta-glucuronidase, a lysosomal enzyme in leprosy affected children of less than 15 years of age. The serum enzyme levels were significantly higher in BB/BL patients compared to healthy control children as well as children with skin diseases other than leprosy. Treatment with Multidrug regimen advocated by WHO for multi/paucibacillary leprosy resulted in a significant fall in the serum enzyme levels in BB and BL cases. The findings suggest that serum beta-glucuronidase may be a useful parameter for the activity and extent of pathogenesis in leprosy.</p>},
