Lepra Stain
The Lepra Stain is a specialized staining technique used to identify *Mycobacterium leprae*, the bacteria responsible for leprosy, in tissue samples. The test uses specific dyes to highlight the bacteria in clinical specimens such as skin biopsies or nasal discharge, making it easier to visualize under a microscope. The Lepra Stain is crucial for diagnosing leprosy, especially in its early stages or in cases where clinical symptoms are not definitive. It helps confirm the presence of the bacteria and aids in differentiating leprosy from other skin conditions.
