Out of these 241 suspected cases, 217 proved as having leprosy, i.e. a 90% correlation between the clinical suspicion and the biological identification. The 181 suspected cases who never reported to the hospital and the 16 leprosy patients whom we lost sight of constitute as a whole 46.68% of the suspected cases first identified. This shows an obvious lack of coordination between the local Authority and the medical service. The 185 confirmed cases of leprosy are shown in the table below and compared with those of the Central Statistical Office.</p>  a0001-5938
