The patient group consisted of 124 with lepromatous leprosy and 33 with tuberculoid leprosy. HLA-A11 was found to be increased in lepromatous leprosy (p=0.0005). HLA-Aw33 was found to be increased in both lepromatous leprosy (p = 0.0002) and tuberculoid leprosy (p = 0.005). HLA-Cw5 was found to be decreased in lepromatous leprosy (p = 0.009). Frequencied of HLA-B antigens did not differ significantly between the leprosy patients and the healthy controls.</p>
