Subsequently out of the enumerated unexamined population of 11779, 5761 were examined and 67 cases were detected giving a prevalence of 11.62 which was less than the prevalence in the sample survey. With an examination of 90.45% of the population there was not much of an alteration in the gross and child prevalence rates as also the lepromatous rate. A sample survey with examination of 80% of the population gives a representative view of the leprosy situation in an area.</p>  a0254-9395
