This study describes the demographic and socio-economic status of patients admitted to Anandaban Leprosy Hospital, Nepal, who had deformities, using a case study and descriptive approach. During November and December 1997, 100 inpatients (70 male and 30 female) who were available during that period of time were taken for this study. Non-Nepali citizens were excluded. Deformity was categorised into 2 groups. Those that were a result of direct nerve damage by invasion of M.leprae were categorised as primary deformity (e.g., anaesthesia, claw hand, foot drop etc.). Those that were a result of neglect of primary deformities, were categorised as secondary deformity (e.g., ulcers, loss of digits etc.) The EPI-INFO package was used to analyse data. The proportion of secondary deformity was found to be higher in an urban resident, female, lower caste, illiterate, no income group and manual workers in comparison to reciprocal groups. However statistical differences were not significant for any of the mentioned variables. A significant difference was found in comparing the age groups of those below and above 30 years of age. Only 29 percent of respondents below 30 years of age had secondary deformity while percentage was higher (70 percent) for those above 30 years of age. Further qualitative research is needed to explore risk factors in the development of deformities in patients with leprosy related neuropathy
