Figure 1. Sensitivity in leprosy lesions.

(A) Patients with preserved or just slightly impaired tactile sensitivity in their lesions tended to present a longer evolution time until diagnosis. p = 0.759 (Kruskal-Wallis test). (B) Distribution of warm and (C) cold perception thresholds in lesions stratified according to the results of the tactile sensitivity test. There was a trend towards an association between worsening WPT (A) and CPT (B) and the degree of tactile sensitivity loss.
