  abstract = {<p>From an epidemiological point of view leprosy remains a problem of public health. Various factors influence the accessibility to health care and the observance of treatment. The study carried out in Niger shows that beyond the stigmatism associated with the disease, the most important factors concern the difference between scientific and popular etiology and semiology. In the face of such problems it is necessary, from a theoretical point of view, to make anthropological enquiries based on the theme of the different representations of this pathology, and from a practical point of view, to examine the possibility of the participation of former patients in public health teams.</p>
