Abstract
Study of the number of melanocytes and amount of pigmentation in hypopigmented lesions and adjacent normal areas in 20 leprosy patients showed no differences in these parameters. It appears that hypopigmentation in leprosy lesions could be caused by defective transfer of melanin into keratinocytes.
