RÉSUMÉ

Mouse sciatic nerves were subjected to devascularization, M. leprae inoculation, and combined insult of devascularization + footpad inoculation (FPI). Changes were seen in FPI nerves only after eight months, but in cases of combined insult, changes were evident in hours. Both the groups showed initial loss of small myelinated fibres. No proliferation of Schwann cells was in FPI nerves, but in combined insult it was maximum after two weeks. Presence of M. leprae seems to be arresting Schwann cell activity after two weeks. Blood vessels showed increased endothelial cell cytoplasm, basement membrane proliferation and villi formation. These changes seem to be specific of endoneurial blood vessels of leprosy nerves. Increased number of mast cells seems to be specific of devascularized and FPI nerves. Increased number of macrophages expressed low immunity of devascularized nerves. Eosinophils migrated to endoneurium as a result of leakage of axoplasm.

RÉSUMÉ

Ultrastructural observation of sciatic nerves from eight Armadillos were made. Six animals had intravenous inoculation of M. leprae, one had of foot pad, while one had natural leprosy. The available nerves were biopsied at various time sequence ranging from five weeks to twenty four months. Semithin sections did not reveal any neuropathy. Ultrastructurally perineurium was thick and endoneurial collagen was increased. Initially demyelination of non-myelinated fibres was seen in all nerves irrespective of mode of infection. This was followed by demyelination of small myelinated fibres. Active remyelination was predominantly after 17 months. Schwann cell activity was increased and various stages of division were seen. Bacilli were extracellular, intraxonal, in endothelium and in perineurium. Significant observations were on blood vessels. These observations are discussed.
