Lepromatous patients showed decreased leukocyte counts and elevated percentages of lymphocytes, resulting in normal absolute lymphocyte counts. The proportion of peripheral blood mononuclear cells forming "active" rosettes, standard (4 degrees C overnight) rosettes, and "high affinity" (29 degrees C for 1 hr) rosettes with sheep erythrocytes, and rosettes with EAC were determined. Lepromatous patients, compared with normal controls, had decreased "active" rosettes, standard rosettes, and "high affinity" rosettes with sheep erythrocytes with an increase in the nonrosetting proportion. Both lepromatous and borderline leprosy patients showed increased percentages of EAC rosettes compared with normal controls.</p>
