21,8 Gomez et al.: Early Lesions of Leprosy 
249 
September 7, 1921, was admitted to San Lazaro Hospital, Manila, 
as a leper, maculo-anesthetic type, and returned to Culion on 
November 17, 1921, at the age of 9 years. A.C., born in Culion 
on May 26, 1912; transferred on April 23, 1914, at the age of 
1 year and 11 months; returned to the colony about May 17, 1917, 
at the age of 5 years, and at the present writing the disease is 
of the nodular and anesthetic type. 
Beginning with the year 1916, an effort has been made to 
segregate physically and bacteriologically negative children in 
a house located on the site reserved for the healthy residents of 
the colony. Since the implantation of this policy in March, 
1916, to October 6, 1921, there were isolated 83 children, of which 
22 remain negative, 25 have died, 5 were transferred outside of 
the colony, 5 were returned to the leper population for other 
diseases, and 26 were returned for leprosy or suspicious signs 
of leprosy. No records were made of the physical and bacterio- 
logical findings at the time of discharge of the children. 
TaBLE 4,—Children isolated at the Negative Children’s House as nonlepers 
and later returned to the colony on account of definite or suspicious 
signs of leprosy.
