INTRODUCTION
The use of the Self-Image Form (SIF) expands the identification of active leprosy cases to neighbors of index cases.
METHODS
The SIF was used to screen two groups: case (neighbors of index cases of leprosy) and control (individuals residing next to houses without leprosy) group. A specialist investigated suspected leprosy cases for disease confirmation.
RESULTS
New cases of leprosy were diagnosed in the case group (n = 7, 8.6%), but not the control group.
CONCLUSIONS
The new surveillance strategy is inexpensive, efficient, and feasible within a primary health strategy. Future studies can help improve the use of the SIF.
引言
使用自我形象表单（SIF）将活动性麻风病例的识别范围扩大到索引病例的邻居。
方法
使用SIF对两组进行筛查：病例组（麻风索引病例的邻居）和对照组（居住在无麻风病房屋隔壁的个体）。由一名专家对疑似麻风病例进行疾病确诊调查。
结果
病例组诊断出了新的麻风病例（n = 7，8.6%），而对照组未诊断出。
结论
这种新的监测策略在初级卫生保健策略中成本低廉、高效且可行。未来的研究有助于改进SIF的使用。
