Abstract
Sera from 60 virchowian patients of hanseniasis (30 Rubino positive and 30 Rubino-negative) and 16 tuberculoid patients (Rubino-negative) were analysed through the guantitation of immunoglobulins by single radial immunodif fusion. There was an increase of the IgG and IgA levels in the two virchowian groups. The levels of IgM were augmented only in Rubino-positive virch,owians. The IgD levels were normal in the three groups. In the tuberculoid patients only in the IgG class was observed increase. It seems that the Rubino-positive group is probably more responsive or more stimulated by antigenic action than Rubino-negative group.
