Ref.: Length of steroid treatment in leprosy reactions?
From: Smith C., Aberdeen, UK


Dear Dr Noto,

I refer to Dr Diefenhardt’s LML message dated Nov. 21st, 2008. The current recommendations on duration of steroid treatment in leprosy reactions are those in the operational guide for the Global Strategy 2006 - 2010. A revision would need to be based on evidence, so if you and others can collate evidence to support a revision that would be very helpful,

With best wishes,

Cairns Smith
