AB Incidence rates of leprosy seem to be falling in most countries around
the world, despite the HIV epidemic. Among the reasons for the declining
rates are changing socioeconomic conditions and high BCG vaccination
coverage. The numbers of people disabled by leprosy, however, are more
important than incidence rates of leprosy per se. The issue of the
disabled will remain a public health problem for many decades to come.
