  abstract = {<p>Leprosy in Mayotte affects 480 persons in a population of 80,000 inhabitants. 229 patients have been treated every day by association of Rifampicin, Clofazimine and Isoniazide. This study make a clinical, histological and bacteriological valuation after treatment, during a period of 3 years. With paucibacillary patients, whom received 1 year of mean treatment and after 2 years under observation, histology for short-dated can stay positive and active. With multibacillary patients, whom received 26 months of mean treatment and most of the time after 1 year under observation, the all of morphological index is negative, sometime bacteriology is positive, less often than histology. For middle- and long-dated, histology should allow a good valuation for disease evolution, specially for interpolar leprosy patients.</p>},
