ABSTRACT
Six cases of histoid variety of lepromatous leprosy among children below 12 years of age were detected in over 3 years period. Bacteriological index was high (3 to 5+). None of the patients had received any anti-leprosy treatment. It is a public health problem because of infectious nature of the disease, therefore early detection and management of this entity among children is important.
