福建省的麻风流行趋势及其预测

The Trends of Epidemics of Leprosy in Fujian Province…

福建省在过去30余年中共发现麻风病人27,506例,到1986年底还有活动性病人1,723例,流行率为0.06‰,比过去降低了90.3％。病人发现率也降低了91％,发病率降低了87.8％。儿童发病率从2.13/10万降到0.09/10万。发现时病人的年龄已趋向老龄化。这一切表明该省的麻风流行已得到控制。由于发现时患者的病期己变短,早期病人的比例增加(由28.3％增到52.8％),有残疾的已从31.2％减到18.4％,只有一块损害的少菌型的比例已由9.4％增加到16.5％,推算到1995年全省将达到基本消灭麻风的目标。

In Fujian province,27506 cases of leprosy were found during the last thirty or more years.By the end of 1986,1823 active cases remained,with a preva- lence of 0.06 per thousand,showing a decrease of 90.3% from the previous high.The case-finding rate decreased by 91%.The mean incidence decreased by 87.8%.The incidence of child cases de- creased significantly from 2.13/100,000 to 0.09/100,000.The mean age of the pati- ents at the time of confirming the diag- nosis shifted to the older groups,deno- ting that the disease was well under con- trol.In view of the shortening of the duration of the disease,the increasing of the percentage of the patients in early stage (from 28.3% to 52.8% ),the decreasing of the cases with disability and deformity (from 31.2% to 18.4%), and the increasing of the percentage of the paucibacillary cases with a single skin lesion (from 9.4% to 16.5%) in this province,a significant accomplish- ment in leprosy control has been achieved,and the goal of basically era- dicating the disease by 1995 should be reached.
