A baseline survey to establish the point prevalence of leprosy was carried out in July and August, 1991 in northern Botswana, where cases of leprosy have existed over the years. A total of 799 contacts of 127 index cases and 8235 school children from 18 schools were clinically screened for leprosy. In all, 44 active cases of leprosy were registered and started on multidrug therapy recommended by World Health Organization. Of these cases, 32% were newly identified during the survey. Due to the moderate outcome, surveillance and control of leprosy has been integrated with existing TB control programme. This is the first time ever a systematic attempt was made to establish a programme for control of leprosy in Botswana.
1991年7月和8月，在博茨瓦纳北部开展了一项基线调查，以确定麻风病的现患率，多年来该地区一直存在麻风病病例。对127例索引病例的799名接触者和来自18所学校的8235名学童进行了麻风病临床筛查。总共登记了44例活动性麻风病病例，并开始采用世界卫生组织推荐的多药疗法进行治疗。在这些病例中，32%是在调查期间新发现的。鉴于取得了一定成效，麻风病监测和控制工作已与现有的结核病控制项目相结合。这是博茨瓦纳有史以来首次系统地尝试制定麻风病控制项目。
