Id: 18362 Author: Cathcart, E. S; Williams Júnior, R. C; Ross, S. H; Calkins, E Title: The relationship of the latex fixation test to the clinical and serologic manifestations of leprosy ?- Source: s.l; s.n; 1961. 8p p. tab. Abstract: Forty-four positive reactions to the latex fixation tests were obtained in the serum of 101 leprosy patients, twenty-four using the euglobulin fraction. The result of the sheep cell agglutination test was positive in fourteen of ninety-five of the same serum samples. Serologic studies suggest that the agglutinating factors in serum from patients with leprosy are similar if not identical to the so-called rheumatoid factors. Duration, type of course and severity of leprosy appear to be unrelated to the presence of positive reactions to serologic tests. The incidence of other diseases found in association with leprosy has been recorded and their relationship to the latex fixation test and to the sheep cell agglutination test is discussed. From the results of this study, it is not possible to define the significance of rheumatoid factors in serum from patients with leprosy. It is concluded that they probably play a non-specific role with respect to the clinical course.

Id: 13322 Author: Shwe, Tin Title: Clinical significance of autoimmune antibodies in leprosy ..- Source: s.l; s.n; 1972. 5 p. tab. Abstract: Specimens of sera from 73 leprosy patients and from 20 controls were tested for rheumatoid factor, antinuclear factor, thyroglobulin antibody and for certain organ specific antibodies (gastric parietal cell, thyroid cytoplasmic, and mitochondrial antibodies). A significant proportion of the lepromatous leprosy patients showed positive reactions to rheumatoid factor, thyroglobulin, and antinuclear factor in low titre. The presence of non-organ specific autoantibodies bears no clinical significance to the disease. Organ specific autoantibodies were not common in leprosy sera.(AU).
