  abstract = {<p>36 cases of leprosy were seen among University and High School students in the Skin Clinic of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital during an 8 years period (1982-1989). The male to female ratio was 2 to 1. Borderline tuberculoid and tuberculoid leprosy were the commonest form of presentation, seen in 66.6% of all cases. Borderline lepromatous and lepromatous leprosy were seen in 22% while indeterminate in 11% of cases. There has been a gradual reduction of new cases from a peak of about 8 cases in 1983 to one in 1989. Most patients complied with treatment and were able to continue their education with little or no hinderance.</p>},
