- ABSTRAK The inability to rapidly identify M. 'florae is a weak link in the leprosy control program. Arid fast bacilli that are found micoscopically are not always M. leprae. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), which is based on molecular biology, is a new method that is able to multiplyM. feprae DNA under the direction of a specific primer. This method can rapidly idencifyM. leprae. The application of PCR in the leprosy control program can help in the collection of some data (such as, the number of infection sources, the number of infected individuals, healthry or ill), but it cannot help in the evaluation of the effect of treatment. Key Words: PCR, M. leprae, leprosy control program.
