ABSTRACT
During the years 1976-1985, 2138 cases of leprosy were detected in children aged 0-14 years, in L and M wards of Greater Bombay. Out of these, records of 1084 patients were available for detailed analysis. These were mainly from the deprived sections of society. Most cases were detected through surveys, though in recent years, there is an increasing trend for voluntary reporting. The relevant epidemiological and clinical findings are presented and compared with the data of other workers in this field.
