Nerve tissue from leprosy patients showed (i) small linear pinkish translucent crystalloid bodies, (ii) small round structures in relation to filamentous strands, (iii) short pieces of filaments with round spaces within them and (iv) miscellaneous structures like pink granules, brown bodies and dark masses. These structures are being studied for their relationship to leprosy.
