Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between demographic factors, leprosy characteristics, and lactoferrin levels in the tears of both leprosy patients and normal individuals.
- The researchers collected tears from 298 leprosy patients and an equal number of normal subjects, measuring lactoferrin levels and antibodies using specific lab techniques.
- Results indicated that leprosy patients had significantly higher tear lactoferrin levels compared to controls, with specific factors like age, bacterial load, and Type 2 reactions being associated with these elevated levels.
