Abstract:
Leprosy surveys in tribal population, fishermen and labourers engaged in construction work revealed prevalence rates of 32/10,000, 109/10,000 and 20/10,000 respectively, suggesting that systematic surveys have to be carried out in such population groups, to reach the goal of a "World without leprosy".
