    Journal: Acta Leprol; 1990; 7(2):139-43. PubMed ID: 1699385.
    Abstract:
    Urine and serum samples from 67 subjects comprising 55 active cases of different types of leprosy and 12 normal controls were subjected to monoclonal antibody based urine antibody competition test (UACT) and serum antibody competition test (SACT) respectively. It was possible to demonstrate M. leprae specific antibodies in the urine of 50% of the seropositive subjects. Urine antibody positivity was observed to the extent of 52% in BL/LL subjects, 50% in BB and 43% in TT/BT types of leprosy.
