Abstract
The WHO recommended multidrug therapy regimens for leprosy patients were implemented in Nepal from 1982. Therefore a considerable number of both paucibacillary (PB) and multibacillary (MB) patients have been on observation after release from MDT, for as long as 4-5 years. A retrospective study was done considering the patients who relapsed during this period and who were registered at the Out-patients Department of Green Pastures Hospital in Pokhara, Nepal. A total of 22 patients relapsed out of 927 who were released from MDT.Keywords
