Physicians and others who come into direct contact with large numbers of leprous patients, the ordinary precautions of cleanliness, rarely contract the disease. On the other hand, intimate contact with lepers without such precautions is the only possible means of transmission. The demonstration of leprosy bacilli in dust, soil, etc. , must always be looked upon with suspicion, since, apart from actual human inoculation, there is no method of positively differentiating the bacilli from similar a...cid-fast organisms. Instances of transmission by contact are on record, not the least famous of which is the case of Father Damien, who contracted the disease while taking care of the lepers upon the island of Molokai. Hansen states that in his knowledge no case of leprosy can be found in which careful examination of the past history will not reveal direct contact with a previous case. Direct inoculation of the human being with material from a leprous patient has been successfully carried out by Arning, 17 upon a Hawaiian criminal.
