(55%) cases Tuberculoid type and 119 (24%) cases Lepromatous type.
3. Out of 959 contacts below 15 years of age, 5 (0.5%) developed leprosy and out of
1251 contacts above 15 years of age, 42 (3.36%) developed leprosy. Total of both is
2,210 of whom 47 developed leprosy. The attack rate is 2.12%.
At the time the study was carried out, 7 patients who had infected 10 out of 47
