Abstract excerpt

The chemotherapy of multibacillary leprosy with dapsone alone has resulted after 15-20 years in the selection and the diffusion of dapsone resistant Mycobacterium leprae. To overcome dapsone resistance, to prevent the selection of organisms resistant to other drugs and to kill the largest proportion of sensitive M. leprae, the chemotherapy of leprosy must rely, as chemotherapy of tuberculosis, upon the...
