Abstract
By utilizing the technique of outliving, modified to follow-up chronic diseases, the accumulated
probabilities of outliving of 5000 hanseniasis patients of the presulfonic era and of 5000 of the sulfonic era were studied. The probabilities of outliving were calculated accord- ing to the initial classification and the patient's age at the time of diagnosis. It was observed that: 1. Sulfone therapy increases the hanseniasis patients accumulated probabilities of outliving. 2. Virchowian patients are those who benefit most as regards outliving by sulfone therapy. 3. The growth of outliving supplied by sulfones to the tuberculoid patients is practically the same as that supplied to the indetermined.
