One day, in fact, with standard MDT. I've actually been involved in a leprosy case investigation in a school. Everyone was freaked out, community meetings, the works. No second cases were ever identified. It really is quite difficult to spread outside of household contacts. Similarly, the case of leprosy I myself diagnosed (off a skin biopsy that was initially thought to be cutaneous tuberculosis) had no related cases either.
