Thalidomide for the treatment of ENL reaction

Ref.: Thalidomide for the treatment of ENL reaction
From: de Koning P., Würzburg , Germany


Dear Salvatore,

I am amazed that nobody even mentions the benefits of thalidomide. In my view it has been discarded too easily, and patients such as the one described by Dr. Uwyse (LML Nov. 1st , 2008) suffer the consequences.

Greetings,

Pieter de Koning
