Moreover, the microscopic picture of indeterminate leprosy can be observed in the normal\u2010looking skin of patients with tuberculoid leprosy or lepromatous leprosy, and this description appears not to be confined to the entity known as indeterminate leprosy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2005.02632.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,2,27]],"date-time":"2006-02-27T16:42:58Z","timestamp":1141058578000},"page":"292-296","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Histopathological study of apparently normal skin of patients with leprosy"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Mohammad A.","family":"El\u2010Darouti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Soliman","family":"Hussein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Salonaz A.","family":"Marzouk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naglaa","family":"Nabil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nahla S.","family":"Hunter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Duaa","family":"Mahgoub","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nermine H.","family":"El\u2010Eishi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mona R.
