Ref.: Leprosy and leishmaniasis
From: Bryceson A., London, UK


Dear Salvatore,

I refer to Dr Villarreal’s messages. It is an interesting case. Ross Barnetson and I published eight cases of leprosy plus leishmaniasis from Ethiopia in 1978, so the coincidence might not be so rare in Bolivia, despite the lack of reported cases.

Best wishes
