Background: Cardinal criteria proposed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) lack sensitivity to diagnose indeterminate leprosy.
Aims: To estimate the frequency of hypopigmented skin lesions with doubtful/minimal sensory impairment showing histopathology features of indeterminate leprosy. To compare between the histopathology findings noted in specimens showing features suggestive of indeterminate leprosy and those showing a non-specific dermatitis pattern.
