The questionnaire from the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood, which is validated in several countries for epidemiological diagnosis of atopic diseases, was applied to determine the occurrence of atopic diseases, allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis among leprosy patients and the household contacts.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st4\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Considering clinical and epidemiological data, among the leprosy group 51.6% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 172) were determined to have at least one atopic disease, while atopy was observed less frequently at 40.86% among household contacts (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 38). When two or more atopic diseases were assessed, the frequency was significantly higher among the leprosy patients than in the household contacts (21.9% vs. 11.8%; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>-value = 0.03). Likewise, the frequency of asthma was significantly higher among leprosy patients (21%) than in the household contacts (10.8%; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>-value = 0.02). Thus, our analyses revealed an association of atopic diseases with leprosy, with a significant linear increase in the occurrence of leprosy with an increase in the number of atopic diseases (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>-value = 0.01).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st5\">\n<jats:title>Limitation<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Due to the difficulties in recruiting household contacts that have prolonged contact with patients, but are not genetically related to the patient, the household contacts group is smaller than the leprosy patient group.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st6\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The data reveal an association between atopic diseases and leprosy outcomes.
