Thirty‐nine leprosy patients (20 tuberculoid and 19 lepromatous) have been HL–A typed and compared to 36 non‐leprosy individuals of the same ethnic group (Amharas). The most significant deviation was related to the W21 antigen, which was found only among leprosy patients (both tuberculoid and lepromatous), not in the control group. No deviation in antigen frequency was found to be specific to the lepromatous group.
