Abstract

Sixty one percent of 30,000 registered cases of leprosy reside in Karachi1. Most of these are former Indian refugees who have brought the disease to Pakistan at the time of partition. Later, the two refugee movements of Biharis and Afghans have introduced new cases into the population. This paper analyses the pattern of leprosy seen in this city.
