There are serious ethical problems related to identifying the contacts of patients with leprosy, it is not cost effective for household contacts, and there is a possibility of the widespread use of SDR promoting the development of rifampicin resistance genes in Mycobacterium leprae. If SDR had similar levels of coverage in real life with 57% efficacy and 30% coverage, the intervention efficacy would not be more than 20%. Because SDR does not significantly reduce the number of patients with MB leprosy, it is unlikely to have an effect on transmission, because these are the patients that need to be treated earliest.
