The Aim of this study is to know zinc serum status and peripheral blood monocyte count of leprosy patient in Dermato Venerologi policlinic Sanglah hospital Denpasar.

Mean of peripheral blood monocyte count in multibacillary patient is 7.12 (SB 2.53) lower compare to paucibacillary leprosy patient with 7.88 (SB 3.08), but statistically not significant with P > 0.05.
