AB - <p>Following a previous work, this one intends to add new data on the occurrence of hanseniasis in the Public Health District of Londrina, in the state of Parana, Brazil. In this study, it was observed an increasing percentage of patients coming from the urban area of the near towns and one of the aspects stressed in this research was the great importance of the V and D forms in the dissemination of the disease, since they affect mostly male individuals. Once this area is characterized by a high endemicity, a new sanitary policy should be put into practice comprising aspects of control and search for cases. Besides it should be developed a special program of case detection among the students carried out by large scale medical examinations and through extensive observation of contacts of the bacilloscopic positive patients, mainly in the household contacts.</p>
