Background: Aim of the study was to study the histomorphological changes in leprosy, the clinicopathological correlation of different types of leprosy lesions and cases of clinically diagnosed lepra reaction.
Methods: One hundred and twelve patients of clinically diagnosed leprosy were chosen. Skin biopsy was performed, fixed in 10% buffered formalin, processed, sectioned and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin as well as Modified Fite Faraco stain.
Result: Of the one hundred and twelve patients enrolled in the study (age range from 7 to 70 years) 90 patients were males and 22 were females. All cases were classified according to the Ridley Jopling Scale. Correlation between clinical diagnosis and histopathological type of leprosy and lepra reactions was done.
Conclusion: Leprosy is more common in males than in females having a ratio of 4:1.The commonest histopathological subgroup was tuberculoid leprosy.
