Abstract
- To examine the anti-leprosy effect of deoxyfructoserotonin the drug was given in a dose of 10 mg/kg for 6 months to 6 patients with active lepromatous leprosy, in accordance with the WHO-THELEP protocol. Clinical and histological assessment and mouse foot-pad studies suggest that the drug has some anti-leprosy effect.
