In a sample survey of the ELEP Dharmapuri Leprosy Control Project out of a population of 62984, 51205 was examined i.e. 81.3%. 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.
