| Leprosy, Tuberculous Manifestation | |
| Nodules on lid, nose and conjunctiva. These are typical for the tuberculoid (granulomatous) form of leprosy and represent a hypersensitiv reaction to mycobacterium leprae. Very few bacteria a found in the tissue. (This is in contrast to the lepromatous manifestation with diffuse thickening of te tissues and a very low immune response. Bacteria are abundant). | |
