Existence of subpolar tuberculoid leprosy was postulated by a few leprologists to explain clinical variations near the tuberculoid pole but failed to precisely identify the same. An attempt has been made to describe the clinical and histological features of subpolar tuberculoid leprosy. 76 cases of the TT-BT range according to Ridley-Jopling classification were examined by detailed clinical, histological and immunological methods. Definite clinical and histological discrepancies from either BT or TTp were seen in 30 (39.4%) cases, confirming the existence of subpolar tuberculoid leprosy (TTs) and thus clarifying the immunological spectrum of leprosy.
