| lepromin skin test | <investigation> A test for leprosy where an extract of infected tissue (antigen) is injected under the skin to determine if you have a current or recent leprosy infection. Normally, little or no skin reaction should result from the injection. A positive skin reaction indicates a leprosy infection. (27 Sep 1997) |
| lepromin test | A test utilizing an intradermal injection of a lepromin, such as the Dharmendra antigen or Mitsuda antigen, to classify the stage of leprosy based on the lepromin reaction, such as the Fernandez reaction or Mitsuda reaction; it differentiates tuberculoid leprosy, in which there is a positive delayed reaction at the injection site, from lepromatous leprosy, in which there is no reaction (i.e., a negative test result) despite the active malignant Mycobacterium leprae infection; the test is not diagnostic, since normal uninfected persons may react.
