Steroid therapy in the management of reactions in leprosy

From: Noto S., Genoa, Italy



Dear Prof Smith,

Thank you very much for your LML message dated Nov. 22nd, 2008.

I would like to comment that there is no evidence in favour of treating severe leprosy reactions in highly positive slit-skin smear positive patients with only a three-month course of steroids.

With regards,
S. Noto
