This study was to describe the existence of Mycobacterium leprae DNA in the air at nursing rooms Hospital </em><em>Infections leprosy Kediri. The method was observational descriptive with object were the entire room of hospital treatment </em><em>infections leprosy Kediri which consisted of 6 inpatient rooms and 4 outpatient rooms. The variable in this research was </em><em>existence of Mycobacterium leprae DNA by PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technique. The result showed that leprosy </em><em>DNA found in nursing room that indicated there was other factors that supporting Mycobacterium leprae in the air. It can be </em><em>concluded that air can be the temporary potential factors of disease transmission. It’s suggested to conduct in positive of </em><em>Mycobacterium leprae DNA at indoor. So that indoor air is clean and healthy.</em></em></p>
