The Dapsone/creatinine ratio in random samples of urine was determined in 910 infectious leprosy patients attending the outpatient department of the Acworth Leprosy Hospital, Bombay during the period 20-9-76 to 20-11-1976. It was found that 48.7% of them were not taking regular treatment. The patients who were detected to be irregular in treatment were interviewed when they next attended the clinic to find the reason behind their irregularity. It was noticed that the majority of them (63%) attended the clinic for DDS treatment but could not come regularly for valid reasons, e.g. no time to attend, no money to travel to the clinic and absence from Bombay to go to native village.
1976年9月20日至1976年11月20日期间，对孟买阿科沃思麻风病医院门诊部的910名感染性麻风病患者随机采集的尿液样本进行了氨苯砜/肌酐比值测定。结果发现，其中48.7%的患者未接受正规治疗。在下次就诊时，对被检测出治疗不规律的患者进行了访谈，以找出其不规律治疗的原因。结果发现，他们中的大多数人（63%）前来诊所接受氨苯砜治疗，但由于一些合理的原因无法定期前来，例如没有时间就诊、没有钱前往诊所、离开孟买回原籍村庄等。
