Experience of using Mazur's atuberculin antivirus in the treatment of ulcers in leprosy patients

It is well known that the leprosy microbe is very close to the tuberculosis microbe. Deike speaks of their great similarity. According to Kedrovsky, it is difficult to find evidence of the difference between leprosy bacilli and tuberculosis bacilli in published works. Babesh combines these microbes with the diphtheria pathogen into a group of diphtheroids.

The relationship of the tuberculosis and leprosy microbes is evident in the same extreme variability of their morphological (and other) properties. In 1897-98, based on experiments with cultures, Kedrovsky formulated the position that the causative agent of tuberculosis and leprosy is found not only in an acid-resistant state, but also in an acid-resistant state. Further, conducting experiments with the leprosy culture he obtained, Kedrovsky, when infecting animals through the lymphatic system of the eye and subcutaneously, histologically obtained a picture similar to miliary tuberculosis.
