ABSTRACT
A study conducted among beggars in and around Aska, Orissa revealed 41 of them to be leprosy patients. Almost all had taken treatment and had been released from control. Only 2 of them were mildly positive in their skin smears for AFB. All of them had disabilities and deformities. It is evident that at least in this area beggar leprosy patients cannot be contributing to the transmission of the disease. Their treatment regularity record was also very good.
