Abstract:
Serum LDH (total) and LDH isoenzymes were studied in leprosy patients undergoing multidrug treatment. Serum LDH (total) did not show any significant difference between normal human subjects and patients but LDH isoenzymes have shown elevated levels in LDH4 and LDH5 in leprosy patients. The M/H ratios were high in leprosy patients and they exhibited a further rise in patients on treatment.
