Dear Salvatore,

Thank you for circulating on the leprosy mailing list the two PDF files in attachments.  The first one reports the new cases and new cases detection rate of leprosy in Brazil per State, the number of children, females, grade 2 disabilities, multibacillary cases and cure rates among new cases in the year 2011.  The second file reports the NCD trend of leprosy in Brazil from 1980 to 2011.

Sources are reported at the end of both papers.  Any comment is welcome. The original Excel files are available on request.

Best regards,
