The Guardian: Shadow of leprosy falls again as experts claim millions of cases go undiagnosed
“Millions of new leprosy cases are going undiagnosed and untreated, 15 years after one of the world’s most feared and infamous diseases was declared to be virtually eliminated. … The WHO reports that there have been between 200,000 and 300,000 new cases detected globally every year since 2005. However, the true number of new cases is likely to be double these figures…” (Lyons, 8/3).
