A STUDY OF AGE AT ONSET OF LEPROSY

In all, 954 leprosy patients attending different leprosoria in Varanasi were the subjects for the study. Diagnosis of these cases was made by studying the cardinal clinical features. The patients' conditions were grouped as lepromatous or non-lejjromatous leprosy. Each of the patients was questioned about the age of onset and duration of the disease. Study findings were repeatedly confirmed by patients. On certain occasions, however, patients' relatives, friends and neighbors corroborated the findings. An approximate age at onset was calculated as the difference between the patient's present age and the duration of the disease.
