Default Azalea problem

Recently we bought a dwarf azalea to plant in a planter box out the
front. The day after planting it I noticed something curious, an
enlarged leaf with a silvery bloom on it looking like a tumour or the
result of some virus infection. The end of the leaf was grossly swollen
and stiff. I removed it but since then I have spotted and removed about
two dozen of these of various sizes doing some damage to the new growth
in the process.

Do the panel have any suggestions as to what this may be and how best to
counter it?
