Leprosy in children

Ref.: Leprosy in children (see attachment)
From: Naafs B., Munnekeburen, The Netherlands


Dear Salvatore,

Concerning Dr Deepak's request (LML Sept 5th 2008):- I gave a talk over 10 years ago in Jaipur at a Paediatric conference and later published the content of that talk in a Dutch teaching journal Memisa Medisch. Find enclosed the text I hope it may be useful.
At that time I had little experience in leprosy in children in Brazil. There they have a nodular form of leprosy in children. I have looked for a paper on this specific subject, which can be found with Google: “Nodular leprosy of childhood and tuberculoid leprosy: A comparative, morphologic, immunopathologic and quantitative study of skin tissue reaction”.
