Abstract

Histopathological correlation of skin biopsies in 89 leprosy patients was done with clinical diagnosis using Ridley Jopling classification. There was clinico-pathological agreement in 65.16 % of cases. The correlation was highest in LL (75 %) followed by BL (70 %), BT (63.4 %), and TT (50 %).
