Abstract

Leprosy is a chronic disabling disease and there are areas of high endemicity in India. Case findings and management strategies suffer a setback when disease manifestations are not picked up in time by health-care providers. This article attempts to estimate the annual incidents of leprosy and to study the confounding factors which may potentially cause delays in diagnosis in an office-based, tertiary health-care setting.
