AB - <p>A morphometric analysis of skin dendritic cells was done on biopsies of patients with different forms of leprosy. An anti S100 antibody was used to determine dendritic cell quantity and extension. Patients with a better immune response to the bacillus showed a greater number of dendritic cells in the cases of dimorphic tuberculoid leprosy and tuberculoid leprosy. This result contrasted with that from patients with dimorphic lepromatous leprosy and lepromatous leprosy.</p>
