title: [The level of knowledge about leprosy among university students].
abstract: A survey about leprosy was made in 1,000 students from the University of Guadalajara (Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico). There were considered clinical, preventive, social and etiological aspects. The results showed that the patient suffering leprosy is currently marginated. We suggest that this study should be carried out in other universities of Mexico, with purposes to verify the stigmata of this entity.
