TL;DR: The LPEP programme evaluates feasibility, effectiveness and impact of PEP with SDR in pilot areas situated in several leprosy endemic countries: India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Tanzania, contributing to the strengthening of the national surveillance systems to become more action-oriented.

TL;DR: Post-exposure prophylaxis with SDR is safe; can be integrated into different leprosy control programmes with minimal additional efforts once contact tracing has been established; and is generally well accepted by index patients, their contacts, and health-care workers.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The benefits of SDR prophylaxis in reducing the risk of developingLeprosy in contacts of new leprosy patients far outweigh the risks of generating drug resistance in M. tuberculosis in individuals and at the population level.

TL;DR: The LPEP programme generates evidence on the feasibility of integrating contact tracing and single-dose rifampicin (SDR) administration into routine leprosy control activities in different settings, and post-exposure prophylaxis with SDR is safe; can be integrated into the routines of different leproSy control programmes and is generally well accepted by index patients, their contacts and the health workforce.
