AB - <p>The feasibility and utility of the "DDS tile test" under field conditions was assessed in 112 leprosy centres in Maharashtra. About 10% of the 2952 urine samples tested negative for dapsone. Feed back information from 54 centres one year later showed that the test could be performed easily under field conditions and also that counselling of patients showing poor compliance helped to improve drug compliance in over 80% of cases.</p>
