Frota, Cristiane C.; Freitas, Max Victor Carioca; Foss, Norma T.; Lima, Luana N.C.; Rodrigues, Laura C.; Barreto, Maurício L.The seroprevalence rates of IgM anti-phenolic glycolipid-I (PGL-I) antibodies in four study groups with differing exposure to Mycobacterium leprae in Ceará, Brazil were investigated between March 2005 and August 2006. The first three groups in a high prevalence area included 144 cases of leprosy, their 380 contacts and 317 participants with no known lep- rosy contact. The fourth group in a low prevalence area c...
