Panama - Courtney reports that there were 109 patients in the Colony at the time of his study. “Since 1907, there have been 188 cases of leprosy, isolated and admitted to the Colony, in addition to the 109 …” Estimating the population of Panama at 500 000, a rate of 0.26 active cases per 1 000 can be arrived at with a known number of active cases. “In an analysis of the records with regard to places of origin of the 109 cases in the Colony, it was found that 49 of them, or 45 per cent, originated from the four towns of Las Tablas, Los Santos, Bocas del Toro, and Taboga, which represent a total of not over 25 000 people. The remaining 60 cases originated from numerous other towns scattered throughout the Republic with a total population of about 450 000. “Leprosy in Panama: A Study of Its origin and Spread” IJL 7(1939): 29-40 cited in World Wide Distribution and Prevalence of Leprosy: Supplement to the International Journal of Leprosy 12 (1944)[Epidemiology][Central America]
