Low levels of blood sugar and serum cholesterol were indicated in the reactive phase of lepromatous leprosy. Significant increase in thymol turbidity and decrease in A/G ratio were noted in most of the cases of lepromatous leprosy. Enhancement of serum levels of transaminases was observed in the reactive phase of lepromatous leprosy. Serum protein electrophoresis indicated increases in alpha2--globulin and r--globulin and decrease in albumin in the reactive as well as subsided phases. The results are discussed in this paper.</p>  a0024-1024
