Leprosy post-exposure prophylaxis with single-dose rifampicin (LPEP): an international feasibility programme

Jan Hendrik Richardus et al.

Summary: Innovative approaches, such as contact tracing and administration of single-dose rifampicin, have shown promising results in reducing leprosy cases. The study found that integrating these interventions into routine leprosy control activities is feasible and well accepted by patients and healthcare workers. Overall, the post-exposure prophylaxis with SDR is safe and effective in reducing the transmission of Mycobacterium leprae.

Number of people requiring post-exposure prophylaxis to end leprosy: A modeling study

Anneke T. Taal et al.

Summary: This study uses mathematical modeling to predict the impact of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) on the incidence of leprosy globally and nationally, estimating that 40.2 million individuals would require PEP over 22 years to reduce the incidence by 90%. The estimates at national level can support policymakers and health program makers in designing elimination strategies.

Exploring clustering of leprosy in the Comoros and Madagascar: A geospatial analysis

Nimer Ortuno-Gutierrez et al.

Summary: The study identified spatial clustering of leprosy patients, with some patients living close to each other. The risk of contracting leprosy is higher the closer one is to a leprosy patient within the same household. The findings suggest the need to extend control measures beyond households and further explore social networks.
