Serum lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes, creatine phosphokinase and aldolase activity were determined in healthy control subjects and in lepromatous and tuberculoid leprosy patients from Ethiopia. Sera from lepromatous patients showed a higher total LDH activity compared with control subject. The values for tuberculoid leprosy patients were similar to those of controls. Sera from normal healthy controls showed a higher proportion of LDH-H form (72%) while lepromatous leprosy patient's sera exhibited a higher proportion of LDH-M form (55%). Tuberculoid leprosy patients showed a pattern similar to that of healthy controls. A possible significance of these observations is discussed. No significant variations were observed in fructose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase activity within the different types of disease and controls. Although creatine phosphokinase levels in different types of leprosy decreased significantly from those of normal healthy, it falls within the reported variation of the activity in normal sera.
