Twenty-nine pregnant lepers were studied during the study period. The detection rates (DRs) for the studied association were 4.7 in 2007, 9.4 in 2008, and 4.3 in 2009.Conclusions:
The Carajás region presented a medium pattern of endemicity during most of the study period, with a high DR found in 2008. (AU).
