Seroreactivity to new Mycobacterium leprae protein antigens in different leprosy-endemic regions in Brazil
New Mycobacterium leprae protein antigens can contribute to improved serologic tests for leprosy diagnosis/classification and multidrug therapy (MDT) monitoring. This study describes seroreactivity to M. leprae proteins among participants from three highly endemic leprosy areas in Brazil: central-we...
