Three indigenous cases of leprosy in the Mississippi delta.

John M Abide1, Risa M Webb, Harriet L Jones, LaFarra Young.   

Abstract

Three native-born patients from the Mississippi Delta presented with leprosy over a 13-month period. None had a history of foreign travel, contact with each other, or known leprosy patients. Two patients' lesions lacked anesthesia, and all had a history of armadillo exposure. These cases add to the association of armadillo exposure and the subsequent development of leprosy.
