It is referred to the results of the modern epidemiological, bacteriological, immunological and medicamentous leprosy research which was particularly stimulated under the impression of the increasing DDS-resistance of the leprosy bacteria. At present ambulatory polychemotherapy, sometimes combined with a vaccination technique, is in the centre of the world-wide combat programme against leprosy. In no other infectious disease, however, social-economical points of view are so important as in leprosy and in the opinion of the author they are finally also decisive for an actually successful and permanent combat.</p>  a0044-2542
