| 1941 | Doull et al report: “From the investigations so far made it is not possible to state the prevalence of leprosy in Puerto Rico with accuracy. It is certain that more than 100 cases exist and that for the most part these persons are in advanced stages of the disease. From general knowledge of the disease it is fair to assume that there are at least as many unrecognised cases. If so, the prevalence rate would be about 11 per 1000 000 of the population … The reported cases in recent years have averaged about eleven per year … On September 15, 1940 there were in the Leprocomio 47 patients … Of these, 18 were classified as cutaneous, 15 as neural, and 14 as mixed cutaneous and neural … The disease is widespread over the island with a predilection for the sea coast municipalities. Naguabo, Patillas, and Vega Baja have been focal centres and apparently this is still true. San Juan and Ponce are centres of higher than average prevalence.” J A Doull et al “A Note on Leprosy in Puerto Rico” Bol Assoc Med de Puerto Rico 6.33 (1941): 217-23 cited in World Wide Distribution and Prevalence of Leprosy: Supplement to the International Journal of Leprosy 12 (1944).
