ABSTRACT
Fifty eight cases including 44 paucibacillary and 14 multibacillary leprosy diagnosed at Command Hospital SC Pune were hospitalised for the entire period of multidrug therapy. 76% cases belonged to high endemic states of India. Reactions occurred in 13 cases during treatment, type I in 10 and type II in three. 7 Multibacillary cases experienced reaction. 69% reaction patients developed reaction within two months of starting MDT and all of them were multibacillary. Usually it took 3-6 months for majority (61.5%) of reactions subside completely. In 65.5% paucibacillary patients activity subsided within twelve months, however 70.5% paucibacillary cases took more than six months to exhibit subsidence of activity.
