| 1935 | Spain - Montañés states “Official censuses have been made at intervals since 1851 … The last of these, made in 1923 revealed 883 cases of leprosy. In 1934 I personally collected data on 928 cases.” Of these, 486 were hospitalised. The population at that time was approximately twenty-four million, giving a known rate of nearly 0.04 per 1 000. He estimates that there are not less than 2 000 cases in Spain, approaching one case per 10 000 persons. The disease is irregularly distributed and most prevalent in four principal areas: (1) Levante, with two leprosaria, the National leprosarium of Fontilles in Alicante accommodating 350 patients, and the Massdeu leprosarium in Barcelona accommodating about 50; (2) Andalucia, with one leprosarium, that of San Lozaro in Granada accommodating about thirty patients; (3) Gallego, with one leprosarium, Santiago, accommodating about twenty patients; and (4) Canarias, comprising all the islands of the Canary Archipelago, with a leprosarium in Las Palmas, with sixty patients, though the institution can accommodate 100.

In the course of the 15 years, 645 patients were admitted, and of thses 11 did not suffer from leprosy. We may classify 4 of these individuals in the leprotic group and 11 as errors in diagnosis.” (95) [Other] [Europe] |
