56 lepromatous leprosy patients with an initial average BI of 4.45 were administered once a month 600 mg of Rifampicin, 100 mg of Clofazimine on alternate days and 100 mg of Dapsone daily. None of these patients became smear negative in 2 years, and the same regimen was continued further. Two patients have become negative in 3 years and treatment has been stopped in them. The study indicates that highly bacilliferous LL/BL patients are likely to need 3 years or more of MDT for achieving bacterial negativity.
