(upper). Photomicrograph of specimen of skin removed from a Kveim site after six weeks in a patient with lepromatous leprosy. No gross papule had appeared at the injection site. In the midcorium multiple epithelioid cell follicles are present and they extend to the epidermis. Acid fast stains showed innumerable acid fast rods in the granulomas, characteristic of lepromatous leprosy; negative Kveim reaction (X 100). FIGURE 3B (lower). High power magnification shows the granulomas to be composed of foam cells characteristic of cutaneous leprosy. The granulomas surround the ducts of sweat glands (X 250).
