The purpose of this study was to apply the technique of molecular biology in nasal secretion sample from household contacts of leprosy patients, in combination with dermatological and neurological assessments, improving the early diagnosis of leprosy. The study was conducted in health municipal units of Belém-PA, from February 2013 to April 2015. The sample consisted of 154 household contacts and 58 index cases of leprosy, totaling 212 subjects. Data collection was through epidemiological record, dermatologic and neurological evaluations and BCG scar examination. A nasal secretion sample from each subject for the PCR was collected. In index cases, positive PCR was in the age group of 40-59 years (35.0%), in multibacillary (MB) form (80,0%);...
