Evaluation of thyroid functions in leprosy. III. Circulating auto-antibodies against thyroid and nuclear components.

Sera from twenty six patients of various types of leprosy were tested for the detection of circulating auto-antibodies and nuclear components against thyroid using various methods. Four patients of lepromatous leprosy had higher levels of thyroid auto-antibodies by latex agglutination. Three patients showed the presence of anti-nuclear antibodies, two belonged to the TT and one to the LL group.

Evaluation of thyroid functions in leprosy. I. Thyroid function tests.

Twenty six patients of different types of leprosy were studied for radio active iodine uptake (I131) and serum levels of triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). None of the patients had clinical evidence of thyroid involvement. No significant difference was found between the values obtained in patients and normals and in different varieties of leprosy.
