Serum Iron and Total Iron Binding capacity were estimated on the sera collected from 45 leprosy patients attending the out-patient department of the Central JALMA Institute for Leprosy, Agra. The Sera from 15 healthy subjects were included in the study as controls. Hypoferraemia was observed in lepromatous leprosy and was particularly marked during the reactive phase. Further investigations to elucidate the pathogenesis of anaemia in leprosy are being planned.
