[Global leprosy, current status and a future outlook].

Abstract

Successful "Leprosy Elimination Programme" since 1991 managed to reduce global case load to nearly 1/10 in 10 years. However, this rapid fall of case detection/incident rate. This means that even after year 2,000, control effort of leprosy as an infectious disease must be sustained, while adequate control/care of leprosy as a deformity/disability causing disease need more attention.
