Resumo: |
This research deals with the compulsory hospitalization of leprosy in São Paulo, as well as the factors that led to the institutionalization of this process, its influence on the national scene and its consequences for the people directly affected by it.

The drastic consequences of this authoritarian measure caused the leprosy initiate a fight as a social movement, in seeking remedies from the State |
