Abstract :

Leprosy is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae, including intra- cellular bacterial groups. The disease attacks humans,especially in the skin and nervous edge, and requires a long time in the course of the disease, known as chronic diseases (Miller,1991). The purpose of the study to determine differences in the examination in the laboratory to observe the bacteria Mycobacteriumleprae and Mycobacterium leprae in skin smear preparations early in patients before treatment and smear preparations in patientswith chronic skin after treatment. This research is descriptive. The sample in this study is the scrapings of skin tissue taken from theright ear lobe, left earlobe, forehead and chin of the 20 lepers. Obtained from 20 patients with leprosy Mycobacterium leprae smearexamination before treatment was 12 (60%) with positive results and 8 (40%) with negative results. While checking Mycobacteriumleprae obtained after treatment of 12 (60%) with positive results and 8 (40%) with negative results. There were 12 (60%) are TypeMB and 8 (40%) are Type PB. So the conclusion is Mycobacterium leprae examination before treatment was 12 (60%) were TypeMB with positive sputum smear examination after treatment, while there were 8 (40%) were Type PB with negative sputum smearexamination. Although the results of the examination on the type of MB is still positive, but the results have been negative BI and MI.The implications of this research are expected need for dissemination to the public that despite negative laboratory results, but shallhave to receive treatment. Although it is theoretically possible for the PB -type negative smear test results but remains to be done.(FMI 2013;49:116-118)
