Resumen en ingles
The A. remembers the history of his lepra-culture and the method he uses to prepare with it the antigen called Leprolin Souza-Araujo, giving photographic illustrations upon the subject. The A. says that the results published about the general action of his Leprolin in leprosy must be revised or rectificated. But he says that the rapid action of his antigen upon perforant ulcers in lepers is consecrated by a large experience. He cured, in relatively short time, perforant ulcers in five lepers. Dr. CASSIANO, from Baurú leper Colony (S. Paulo) treated 21 such cases. The median time of treatment was 23 days and the median dosage of Leprolin injected in each patient was 7.7 cm3. All lesions were cured. After 18 months observation three cases relapsed and 18 (or 85.7%) remained cured. Dr. CALDEIRA, Director of padre DAMIEN Leper Colony (Ubá, Minas Gerais) treated regularly with Leprolin 50 cases of severe perforant ulcers and obtained cure in 46 (or 92%). ina special meeting held in Minas Gerais nineteen leprologists examined the cases of Dr. CALDEIRA and considered the results he have obtained as "magnifico", in the sense as "unic". This experiment is being continued in various brazilian leper colonies and the Author offers, graciously, his antigen to be tried also in foreing countries.
