Abstract:
As part of the leprosy control activities in the area of Gudiyatham Thaluk, general surveys are done once every three to five years. The percentage of examination is about 90%. An analysis of all new cases registered for treatment between 1990-94 was done to study whether these cases had been examined in the previous general survey. Of the new cases detected and registered, 566 cases (32.6%) were not examined during the previous survey. The significance of these findings in relationship to cost-effectiveness of general surveys, case-detection methodology and possible continuing of transmission of leprosy are discussed.
