Background: Recorded leprosy case load has come down from to less than one case per 10,000 populations at national level in December 2005. Considerable changes in the epidemiological pattern of the disease have been observed due to the historical trend of the disease; the impact of interventions; the efficacy of chemotherapy and the role of improved health services. This study was planned to know the pattern of leprosy cases attending tertiary care hospital, their treatment & outcome. Methods: It is a retrospective study conducted from Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University Medical College & Hospital from 2007 till December 2015. Study-subjects include patients with leprosy and sample size includes all the patients of leprosy from January 2007 to December 2015. The study-tools: records, biopsy tissue blocks. Statistical analysis: percentages. Results: There were total 42 cases. Total 9.5% were children. Male to female ratio was 1.33:1. Two (4.8%) patients gave family history of leprosy, 23 (54.8%) were from rural area. Clinically 16.66% patients had single patch, 50% had nerve involvement. The most common type was borderline tuberculoid leprosy (35.7%). Out of these 42 cases 22 cases had completed the treatment, 14 on treatment. Six patients were defaulted. Conclusions: Early diagnosis & treatment of leprosy is happening as none of the cases had disability. History of contact in study subject was not common & presence of leprosy in paediatric age group indicates continued transmission. However there is a need of strong follow-up system for defaulters.
