Purpose: The aim is to discover the existence of leprosy agglomeration and factors causing leprosy. Method: This epidemiological study was held in district of Blora. Data was analyzed using individual approach and spatial analysis. Results: There are agglomeration of leprosy cases at coordinates 7.215035 S and 111.535428 E radius of 10.54 km. Variables related to leprosy incidence are economic status and the distance of reservoir. The economic status obtained coefficient value -0.882169, error standard 0.372429, t-statistic -2.36869 and p-value 0.01881. While the distance of distance of reservoir obtained coefficient value 0.00344507, standard error 0.000965419, t-statistic 3.56847 and p-value 0.00045.Conclusion: There is agglomeration of leprosy patients. There is a correlation between the variable of economic status and the distance of reservoir with the leprosy incidence. Health agencies and related sectors need to provide informal skills training to leprosy patients for increasing family income.
