There have been considerable variations in the levels of immunoglobulins in the serum of leprosy patients which needed elucidation. An attempt has been made in this direction to find out the levels of IgG, IgM and IgA in the serum samples of 145 cases of various grades of leprosy. The patients were selected in the age group of 11 to 60 years and have received treatment with DDS from a period ranging from 6 months to 5 years. A constant increase in the levels of immunoglobulins has been noted and the effect of treatment over variation in the levels has been discussed.
