Histopathological examination of tuberculosis was done on 107 autopsy cases in Komyoen Leprosarium from 1962 to 1970. Seventeen cases showed pulmonary tuberculosis, including healed and calcified lesions. The average age of these cases was 66.6. Active pulmonary tuberculosis was found in 10 cases; half of them formed tuberculous cavity. Only 2 cases showed remarkable extension of the disease to the other organs. This was quite different from the formm of tuberculosis before 1900 which was predominantly accompanied with direct or miliary type extension. Gaseous pneumonia of 4 cases between 1967 and 1666 suggested possibility of reinfection on the aged. Active tuberculosis on the aged seemed to have a tendency to become caseous pneumonia. There was no correlation between the types of leprosy and tuberculosis. We deny any specific relation of tuberculosis to leprosy patients.

The ultra-thin sections of My. ulcerans were examined with electron microscope.1) Two types of bacillary bodies, namely, the homogenous, solid type and the type which has various internal structures were observed. The many intermediate forms between both variations were observed and they could be divided decidedly.2) The bacillary body is enveloped with a cell wall. Within the bacillary body, large electron-dense granules (50-100mu), small granules (about 20mu), electron-transparent vacuolous structures, and reticular, tubular and ramifying string-like structures were recognized.3) The internal structure of My, ulcerans is very similar to those of murine, human leprosy bacilli, and tubercle bacilli.
