Since significant Progresses have been attained in recent years in Korea, i.e., the
installation and reorganization of leprosy institutions, the abolishment of doctrine of
previous compulsory institutionization of leprosy patient and initiation of resultant
domiciliary treatment on out-patient status through special skin clinics and others,
organization and field activities of leprosy mobile teams, and a large scale resettlement
of ex-leprosy cases for their social rehabilitation, it became more and more evident that
a total number of leprosy patients has to be estimated, accurately as far as possible, by
some of rational approach. So far, numerous reports have been made from time to time
on the estimation of total number leprosy patients in Korea. However, there existed
great differences between numbers of leprosy patients estimated by them, owing mainly
due to the fact that none of such estimations was made by any of rational approach in
methodology. In the first part of this study, it was attempted to estimate a total number
of leprosy patients by 1968 on the basis of data obtained from Wolsung-Gun total
population survey for leprosy case finding, and of prevalence rate in cities and Guns
established from distribution density of known leprosy patients by 1965. In the second
part, the estimation of unknown leprosy cases in 3 cities and 92 Guns in Chungchung,
Cholla and Kyungsang Provinces was made from the data obtained through mass
survey by leprosymobile teams and leprosy case workers in these areas, and this figure
was compared with the one which was obtained from the first part of this study. |
