Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease that primarily affects skin and peripheral nerves and its clinical signs are lesions with abnormal pigmentation and sensitivity. Its etiologic agent is Mycobacterium leprae, an obligate intracellular bacillus, acid fast rod-shaped straight or slightly curved. The transmission occurs through the upper airway, and the default host immune ranges from a high cell-mediated immune response, known as Th1 response, a high susceptibility to infection with high humoral immune response, Th2 response. This study aimed to examine clinical and socio-epidemiological information to correlate with levels of IgM anti-PGL-1 in plasma, and molecular detection of M. leprae in nasal swabs from cases and contacts of leprosy...
