Abstract
Auramine staining has been compared with Ziehl-Neelsen's staining of M. leprae in skin smear slide. The auramine method was found to be more sensitive than Ziehl-Neelsen's method and may be useful in detecting small number of M. leprae in skin smears. The inter-observer variance was minimal with auramine staining.
