The profile of leprosy in children currently seen in a referral hospital is compared with that of children with leprosy admitted in the 1970s. Children with leprosy under the age of 15 years in 1974 and 1979 comprised one group (Group I) while those during 1989 and 1994 constituted the second group (Group II) The variables studied included age, sex, type of leprosy, deformity and contact status. Multidrug therapy (MDT) was introduced in the treatment of leprosy in 1982. The probable change it has made in the presentation of leprosy in children is discussed.
