Leprosy and Leishmaniasis

Leprosy Mailing List, June 27th, 2008

Ref.: Leprosy and Leishmaniasis
From: Dahiru T., Rayfield, Plateau State, Nigeria


Dear Salvatore,

I refer to Dr Villarreal’s LML message dated June 25th, 2008. The two diseases, leprosy and Leishmaniasis, can be treated concurrently with minimal risk of drug interaction. Careful monoring of this patient for possible severe type 2 reaction is recommended.

Greetings,

Tahir
