“…Appropriate investigation of the contacts is essential, since it contributes to a decisive interference in the transmission dynamics of the disease (20) . In addition, early diagnosis enables a positive effect on the natural history of the disease, especially at primary and secondary prevention levels (2,18,20) , thereby reducing the chance of disability and deficiency, which ultimately has a strong social, economic and psychological impact (3) . Qualified dermato-neurological examination is essential for the detection of leprosy, since the diagnosis of this disease is eminently clinical (2,(8)(9)14,25) .…”

In the state of Rondônia, it is noted that the proportion of contacts examined among those registered ranged from 72.9% in 2001 to 77.7% in 2013 (12) .…”

“…Esses resultados enfatizam a importância de monitorar a função neural dos pacientes, muito além do momento de finalizar a PQT, com o intuito de prevenir a aparição de incapacidades em pacientes que já receberam alta (15) . O presente estudo apresenta limitações por ter sido realizado com dados de prontuários, não sendo possível coletar dados referentes ao número de avaliações neurológicas realizadas; número de sessões de fisioterapia, casos na família e também pela escassez de informações em alguns prontuários.…”
