| | Abstract: | Fifty patients of lepromatous leprosy including those of dimorphic type were studied to determine whether anaemia in leprosy is due to chronic infection. Two groups of 25 each, one with no treatment and the other on Dapsone treatment, were subjected to serum iron studies, tissue storage iron and UIBC estimations. Hypoferraemia was observed in 58 per cent of cases of both the groups with low tissue storage ison, normal or high UIBC associated with low MCHC, characteristic of iron deficiency anaemia. Anaemia of chronic infections was observed in only one case. No abnormal sideroblasts coud be seen. Anaemia is tributted to dietary factor.(AU).
