For instance, the 30 hospitalized patients with lepromatous leprosy enrolled at JALMA showed significantly lower anti-ESAT-6/CFP10 antibody levels than the 47 hospitalized non-ATB patients enrolled at Hinduja (p<0.0001), but no significant difference was observed for the anti-PGL-Tb1 antibody levels (p = 0.25). This evidence concerns the gene SDHD and lepromatous leprosy.
