  • Title: Three indigenous cases of leprosy in the Mississippi delta.
    Author: Abide JM, Webb RM, Jones HL, Young L.
    Journal: South Med J; 2008 Jun; 101(6):635-8. PubMed ID: 18475242.
    Abstract:
    Three native-born patients from the Mississippi Delta presented with leprosy over a 13-month period. None had a history of foreign travel, contact with each other, or known leprosy patients. Two patients' lesions lacked anesthesia, and all had a history of armadillo exposure. These cases add to the association of armadillo exposure and the subsequent development of leprosy.
