RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SERUM LEVELS OF IMMUNOGLOBULIN M-ANTI PHENOLIC GLYCOLIPID 1 AND IMMUNOGLOBULIN G-ANTI PHENOLIC GLYCOLIPID 1 WITH BACTERIA INDEX VALUES IN MULTIBACILLARY LEPROSY

Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship of serum levels of anti-phenolic glycolipid (PGL-1), immunoglobulin M (IgM), and anti-PGL-1 immunoglobulin G (IgG) with bacterial index (BI) values in multibacillary (MB) leprosy. Methods: This study was an observational study with a cross-sec...

Summary:Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship of serum levels of anti-phenolic glycolipid (PGL-1), immunoglobulin M (IgM), and anti-PGL-1 immunoglobulin G (IgG) with bacterial index (BI) values in multibacillary (MB) leprosy. Methods: This study was an observational study with a cross-sectional design. A total of 30 study samples were examined for a Slit Skin Smear and examined serum levels of IgM and IgG Anti PGL-1 antibodies by ELISA method. Results: The results showed the higher the BI value, the serum levels of IgM anti-PGL-1 and IgG anti-PGL-1 increased. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between IgM anti-PGL-1 with BI value in MB leprosy (p<0.05), but there was no significant relationship between IgG anti-PGL-1 with BI value in MB leprosy (p>0.05). IgM anti-PGL-1 has more role in increasing the value of BI in MB leprosy.
