Abstract
Lepra prevalansının Türkiye geneline göre oldukça yüksek görüldülü Maraş ve Sivas illerinde, hasta-temaslı taraması düzenlenerek kayıtlı 356 hasta ve yakınlarının muayenesi yapılmıştır. Ölüm, kayıp, bölge dışı göç ve diğer sebepler sonucu bölgede 165 eski hastanın kaldığı görülmüş ve bu hastaların yakınları arasında 8 yeni hasta tespit edilmiştir. Tüm hastaların tedavileri yeni şemalara göre düzenlenmiştir. Hastaların yüzde 81.8 inde basil bulunamamıştır.
