Abstract

A clinical and epidemiological study of leprosy revealed 232 cases in Jodhpur (Rajasthan); a non-endemic area. Males were three times more affected than females. Lepromatous leprosy was the most common type (70.70%). Maximum number of cases were observed in the age group 20-49 years. The probable causes for an increase in incidence are discussed.
