Melanocytic activity in leprosy lesions with special reference to cellular infiltrate
Leprosy in India
|April 1, 1976
Abstract:
To assess the correlation, if any, between the clinical hypopigmentation in leprosy affected skin and the inflammatory cellular infiltrate in d rmis, skin tissue sections from the maculo-anaesthetic and tuberculoid lesion of 50 cases were studied with Dopa and H & E stains. The results are indicative of (i) proportionate lack of Dopa oxidase activity in the hypopigmented leprosy lesions in commensuration with the relative degree of clinical hypopigmentation; (ii) cellular infiltrate is not related with the clinical hypopigmentation or dopa oxidase activity.

01:30Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

01:30Leishmaniasis
Leishmaniasis is a protozoal disease caused by species of the genus Leishmania and transmitted through the bite of infected female sandflies. The parasite exists in two principal morphological forms during its life cycle. A sandfly acquires intracellular amastigotes from an infected reservoir host, such as a dog. Within the sandfly, these forms differentiate into motile, flagellated promastigotes. During a subsequent blood meal, promastigotes are injected into the human host, where they...
