Introduction: India reports more than 60% of leprosy cases. The state of Maharashtra reported more than 15000 new cases in the year 2015-16. These figures show that we are miles away from the ultimate goal of leprosy eradication. This study was planned to analyse trends of Leprosy in a PHC located in Thane district of Maharashtra. Objectives: 1) To analyze the trends of leprosy cases in study area. 2) To give recommendations on the basis of study data. Results: The number of new cases reported fluctuates over the five year period. But the %MB cases have remained high and fairly constant which are comparable to national and state average. The % of children among Leprosy patients is on a rise with every 3rd patient being a child in last year of this Trend Analysis. The Prevalence Rate was 3.6/10000 in 2012 which went up in subsequent year and settled down at 4.4 for years 2015 and 2016.
