BACKGROUND: Most countries that were previously highly endemic for @entity1201 have achieved elimination at the national level. OBJECTIVES: To find out the pattern, prevalence, and trends of @entity1201 in the post-elimination stage. METHODS: A descriptive retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out using the registered records of @entity1 attending the @entity1201 clinic in Chittagong Medical College Hospital between the periods 2001 and 2011. RESULTS: The new case detection rate was declining. The prevalence rate was 0.75 at the end of 2011. Of a total of 789 @entity1 , males (74%) outnumbered the females (26%). The age of the @entity1 in the study group ranged from 6 years to 87 years with mean age 35.58  years      0.05 SEM. Paucibacillary (PB) and multibacillary (MB) cases were 314 (39.80%) and 475 (60.20%), respectively. MB percentage was increasing more among new cases in the study period, and 119 (15.08%) @entity1 presented with grade 2 @entity85 . Smear positive cases were 141 (17.87%). @entity1201 reaction comprised of 193 (24.46%) type 1, 68 (8.62%) type 2, and 97 (12.29%) @entity5013 cases. LIMITATIONS: This is a retrospective study from a single tertiary health center. CONCLUSION: MB cases with grade 2 @entity85 are in an upward trend, and rates of @entity1 are declining. Developing reinforced new therapies to curb reactions, @entity85 are very important and contact tracing, especially of @entity1 , is essential. Domiciliary treatment needs to be made available to ensure early diagnosis.
