AB - <p>Sixty-three sera of patients with leprosy were tested for the presence of circulating immune complexes (CIC) by C1q solid phase assay (C1qSPA). The mean values in CIC levels in leprosy patients were very high in comparison to native and European controls. No difference was found in the tuberculoid and lepromatous forms, but there was a good correlation between the presence of CIC and autoantibodies.</p>
