Abstract

While leprosy is not considered a public health problem in Colombia, affected children are an important warning sign, demonstrating the challenge of controlling the disease. Herein, we report 12 cases of leprosy in patients 5-17 years of age, summarizing our clinical, micro biological and treatment findings.
