In the present study presence of HBsAg in the serum of 130 leprosy patients (LL 50; ENL 30; TT 50) and its relationship with various complications has been studied. The HBsAg positivity in controls and various types of leprosy did not show any significant difference. Similarly complication also had no relation with HBsAg positivity. So we conclude that leprosy has no relation with HBsAg.
