Out of 14257 leprosy patients, 8122 (56.97%) with permanent deformities and disabilities were found. The disability rate was much higher among patients with multibacillary (MB) leprosy (81.15%) than among those with paucibacillary (PB) leprosy (53.04%). The statistical data involving the patients and the types of deformities and disabilities are presented in this paper, and the influences of various host factors and disease factors are discussed.
