High yield of retrospective active case finding for leprosy in Comoros.

Cavaliero and colleagues [[1]] describe a high yield of retrospective active case finding for leprosy in Cambodia, which has a fairly low level of endemicity. On Anjouan, in addition to mini campaigns, household contacts of leprosy patients diagnosed are either visited in their homes by nurses trained in leprosy or invited to present to Primary Health Care (PHC) facilities for leprosy screening.
