AB - <p>Leprosy has yet a great impact on public health in Haiti. A study was carried out in Haiti from 1977 to 1999. On 2,160 registered cases, mostly are paucibacillaries: 412 cases are under 15 year old patients and 1,306 more than 15 year old. Multibacillaries cases are 85 in under 15 year old patients and 357 in more than 15 year old. By the improvement of sanitary conditions, detecting cases and multidrug therapy, leprosy had decreased during these last years, with an incidence from 0.1 to 0.2%. However, with the increasing poverty and political disorders, the control of leprosy remains difficult in Haiti.</p>
