麻风病的預防是現代医学尚未彻底解决的問题之一。輓近虽已比較广泛地使用卡介苗預肪接种,但其結果至今仍不能肯定。因此,便有人想到施行預防性治疗的可能性。一般認为接触带菌的病人是最重要的传染方式。現已証明,与瘤型麻风病人接触过的健康人,有10—20%可在其真皮上层找到抗酸菌。Khanolkar氏(1951)証明麻风菌侵入人体时,首先寄居于皮肤的神經纖維內,并断定細菌在神經纖維內获得致病性后,便可进入皮肤組織中引起細胞反应,从而造成临 Prevention of leprosy is one of the problems that modern medicine has not yet completely solved. Although the recent use of BCG pre-vaccination has been more widely used, but its results are still not sure. Therefore, some people think of the possibility of preventive treatment. It is generally believed that the most contagious means of contact with the carrier is the patient. It has been shown that 10-20% of healthy individuals who have been in contact with a leprous patient can find acid-fast bacteria in their dermis. Khanolkar’s (1951) proved that when Leprosy invades the human body, it first resides in the nerve fibers of the skin and determines that the bacterium gains pathogenicity inside the nerve fiber and then enters the skin tissue to cause a cellular reaction, resulting in
