摘要
凉山州和攀枝花市为四川的麻风重疫区,也是最早开展MDT的地区(1984年试点,1986年推广)。我们对开展MDT后的家内接触者进行了麻风调查。在MB病人的家内接触者中,五年共发现新病人119例,包括MB 64例,PB 55例,MB占54%;在BB病人的家内接触者中发现12例,包括MB 4例,PB 8例,MB占33%;在家庭外接触者中发现94例(见附表)。
During 19S7 to 1991,225 new cases of leprosy were detected in examination of leprosy contacts in Liangshan Prefecture and Panzhihua City,Sichuan,of which 119 and 12 cases are household contacts of MB and PB patientsrespectively,and 94 are neighbours of the patients.In the three groups,the number of newly detected patients were decreasing by 29.9%,41.1% and 40.2% year after year meanly and in the new patients proportion of MB cases was higher,and proportion of children was yearly lessening,In children MB cases were less than PB.The authors believe that MDT is effective to controlling transmission of leprosy on the basis of the data mentioned.
