But, given the evidence for the effectiveness of SDR-PEP and the WHO guidelines for its use, the ethics of testing new post-exposure immunoprophylactic approaches for leprosy prevention without combining them with chemoprophylaxis in both the intervention and control group needs to be discussed. The combined effect of chemoprophylaxis with single dose rifampicin and immunoprophylaxis with BCG to prevent leprosy in contacts of newly diagnosed leprosy cases: a cluster randomized controlled trial (MALTALEP study)	./cache/cord-263455-dquztf5l.txt	./txt/cord-263455-dquztf5l.txt
