73 cases of leprosy were imported into the Federal Republic of Germany between 1981 and 1992. A large number of imported cases came from Asian countries (32 cases). 61 patients were male, 12 female. 30 patients had the tuberculoid type of leprosy, 29 the lepromatous. From the total of 73 leprosy patients 7 were German nationals. Early diagnosis and efficient treatment play an important role in ensuring a good prognosis.
