Peripheral blood lymphocyte assays using monoclonal antibodies were done in 66 patients with leprosy, consisting of 25 children and 41 adults. The results were statistically analyzed for correlations, if any, among the different age groups and matched controls. The results, however, failed to show any significant correlation, nor was it possible to draw any conclusion as to why the disease spectrum in children tends to be incomplete (ie, there is a low incidence of the highly bacilliferous form of disease expression).
