Abstract

Background: Leprosy is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae bacteria which is still the focus of a global problem and causes disability in patients. The degree of disability in leprosy is assessed as mild and severe as a result of the inflammatory process. This study aims to determine the relationship between the degree of disability in leprosy and IL-6 serum levels as an inflammatory biomarker in leprosy patients. Methods: A Cross-sectional observational analytical study on leprosy patients aged 20-60 years, not pregnant, and undergoing treatment at Donorojo Jepara Hospital from March to April 2024. Serum IL-6 levels were analyzed using the ELISA method and tested for correlation with the degree of disability leprosy. Results: Statistical analysis of Spearman's correlation rank test shows a p value = 0.279 and the results of the line pattern on the Scatter dot graph are not linear. Conclusion: There is no correlation between serum IL-6 levels and the degree of disability in leprosy patients at Donorojo Jepara Hospital.
