The patient with different types of leprosy were classified according to Ridley and Jopling (1962). The mean percentage of T-lymphocyte was observed in gradually decreasing manner from tuberculoid pole to lepromatous pole. The fall in T-lymphocyte percentage was highly significant when control cases were compared with total cases of leprosy and different histological types of leprosy. This indicates that there is a gradually increasing loss of cell mediated immune response from tuberculoid to lepromatous pole.</p>  a0024-1024
