Abstract

As the incidence of tuberculosis decreased the last 10 years, new cases of leprosy increased. The highest incidence of new cases in the United States was reported in Texas. It may be that with the decline of tuberculosis, the natural ecology of mycobacteria is reversed, and if measures are not taken, the leprosy/tuberculosis ratio may again favor leprosy.
