title: [Location of single skin lesions of paucibacillary leprosy].
abstract: In this paper the authors study the sites of single lesions in 317 paucibacillary patients registered at the outpatient units of the CMS Jorge Saldanha and the Curupaiti State Hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The preferential sites of lesions in the population studied, their relation with age and sex and factors likely to influence their distribution are discussed. The findings are compared with other similar studies performed in Asia and Africa.
