[Present-day aspects of leprosy in Martinique].
Altogether my observations agree with the facts reported by others authors. Two data however should be pointed out: -- in spite of the progresses for its demonstration, lepra remains frequent in La Martinique; -- with 47% lepromatous forms and 25% tuberculoid forms, lepra in the West Indies constitutes an intermediary level between African lepra (60% tuberculoid forms) and South-American lepra (60% lepromatous forms).
