ON SERUM PROTEIN COMPONENTS AND LEUCOCYTE PERCENTAGE OF ERYTHEMA NODOSUM LEPROSUM

Abstract

Results of analysis of serum protein with Tiselius' electrophoresis and the percentage of leucocytes at erythema nodosum leprosum were as following:
1) At the fading stadium from the acme or erythema, decrease of γ-globulin and incr-ease of alubumin and α-globulin were recognized.
2) β-globulin level was nigner than at lepra tuberosa and did not go down at this stadium.
3) Leucocytes increased in number at vanishing or erythema than at the peak. Neutrophile and eosinophile cells showed no change.
4) No corelation was found between serum protein fraction and percentage of leucocytes.
