Abstract
Dermatoglyphics, the ridged skin covering our palms and sole, are not only found on human beings. All primates have ridged skin, and it can also be found on the paws of certain mammals and on the tails of some monkey species. The drag against the ridges when feeling the texture of a surface heightens the intensity of stimulation of the nerve endings. The sample consists of 100 cases of leprosy in the age group of 18 to 60 years. Fingerprints and palm prints were taken, using the Ink and Pad method, described by Harold Cummins and Midlo. The dermatoglyphics of 100 leprosy cases are studied in the age group of 18 to 60 year. All cases are selected from Bhavnagar district & Taluka places of Bhavnagar District. Out of 100 cases 70 Case of Multibacillary type, (40 Male & 30 Female) and 30 case of Paucibacillary type (16 Male & 14 Female) are compared with the control of different age group 18 to 60 years, (74 Male & 26 Female). there was no statistically significant difference observed in finger print pattern and in between male & female in present study in MB, PB and control.
