Abstract

The enzymatic activity of GOT and GPT was studied in 130 hanseniasis patients, who were cbmsified in four groups: 1) quiescent Virchowian hansenia,sis; 2) quiescent tuberculoid hanseniasis; 3) reactional Virchowian hanseniasis; 4) reactional tuberculoid hanseniasis. Significant diferences between quiescent and reactional forms were observed but not among the quiescent cases themselves. Differences between reactional Virchowian (the highest values) and reactional tuberculoid patients were observed but these differences were of low significance or not significant at all. Flypersensitivity mediated either by immune complexes or by cells would stand at the
basis of these variations.
