ABSTRACT
Lepromatous leprosy (LL) patients whose bacillary load has decreased to almost undetectable levels by long-term chemotherapy failed to develop delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) to Mycobacterium leprae antigen following immunization with killed armadillo-derived m. leprae. When these LL patients were immunized with killed M. leprae in a mixture with live BCG, only DTH to purified protein derivative (PPD) was induced. These results are further evidence that immunological unresponsiveness to the leprosy antigen of patients with lepromatous leprosy is antigen-specific and non-reversible.
