As one of the serial studies of the pathophysiological phenomena: in leprosy, rheumatoid factor(R.F) and C-reactive protein(C-RP) were evaluated in the sera of the leprosy patients in the Sorok National Leprosarium. One hundred and forty-seven patients´ sera were tested and the results were as follows.
1) R.F was detected in the 34 patients´ sera(23. 1%) and C-RP in the 35 pati-ents sera(23.9%).
2) Among the 17 leprosy patients with lepra reaction, 4 patients sera(23.5%) showed R.F reactivity and among the 130 patients with no lepra reaction, 30 patients´ sera showed R.F reactivity. In contrast, C-RP reactivity was noticed in the 10 patients sera among the-17 lepra reaction patients(58.8%), and in the 25 patients sera among the 130 leprosy patients with no lepra reaction(19. 2%).
3) In the 34 R.F reactive patients´ sera, 9 showed slightly weak reaction, another 9 showed weak reaction and the remained 16 patients´ sera showed strong reaction. In the 35 C-RP reactive patients sera, ten showed 1+reaction, five 2+ reaction, three 3+reaction and seventeen showed more than 4+reaction.
4) R.F and C-RP reactivity was noticed somewhat more frequently in the sera of the leproniatcus patients and borderline patients. Age, sex, types of leprosy and bacilli index of the patients gave no significant affection to the reactivity of R.F and C-RP.
