Humans and armadillos are currently the only known reservoirs of the bacteria, with infected humans accounting for up to 7 billion organisms per gram of tissue [8]. In lepromatous (LL) cases, biopsy should be made from a nerve cell to rule out alternative diagnoses which might show similar symptoms and bacilli in tissue [7]. Med.

Diagnosis is typically made upon recognition of acid-fast bacilli in a skin biopsy of a lesion [7]. "The 'Lucio phenomenon' in diffuse leprosy." 21 Swift, T. R. "Peripheral nerve involvement in leprosy: quantitative histologic aspects." The Lucio Phenomenon is a rare form of symptoms that describes a rapid onset of inflammation of the blood vessel walls and anemia. To access the cells, Mycobacterium leprae gets into the lymphatic system and the blood vessels [19]. The remaining three types are borderline categories, being closer to one polar type or the other, or having marks of both polar types. 187-191. While the bacteria can trigger apoptosis in the cells, the body also contributes to cell death by mounting an immune response on the infected cells. 2001, February 22.

NRAMP proteins, which are coded by one particular conserved gene, allow transportation of iron into the macrophage for survival [14]. This lipid has been extracted from M. leprae and a carbohydrate antigenic determinant has also been synthesised from its carbohydrate and used to prepare a monoclonal antibody. suggests that both were Cunha, S.S., Rodrigues, L.C., Pedrosa, V., Dourado, I.M., Barreto, M.L., and S.

The genus mycobacterium is known for having 112. 357-366.
