There are five main countries as the foremost category of leprosy cases that include Brazil, India, Indonesia, Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The research method used in this study was the observational study using a case-control research design. The total samples were 81 individuals that consisted of 27 leprosy patients (the case group) and 54 non-leprosy patients (the control group). Analysis of 16S rRNA gene expression was conducted using the PCR method to detect the risk of leprosy. ## Keywords - Distribution (mathematics) - Transmission (telecommunications) - Geography - Biology - Veterinary medicine - 16S ribosomal RNA - Agriculture - Ecology - Cartography - Mathematics - Engineering - Paleontology - Medicine - Bacteria - Telecommunications - Mathematical analysis --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
