Leprosy Mailing List – April 29th , 2010
Ref.: Diagnosis of leprosy
From: S. Deepak,
Dear LML readers,
I have the pleasure to introduce you to a joint effort by Bernard Naafs, Salvatore Noto, Enrico Nunzi, Pieter Schreuder and with an important input from Grace Warren, about "Diagnosis of Leprosy". This work will be presented through the Leprosy Mailing List (LML) in the coming days. It will also be freely accessible through the archives of LML on internet.
Over the last two decades, the global leprosy situation has changed significantly. During this period, there has been a lot of attention directed towards the public health aspects of leprosy control and relatively less attention towards the clinical aspects of the disease. At the same time, clinical expertise about leprosy is slowly declining, and many young clinicians find difficulty in attaining access to reliable information about the clinical aspects of the disease. Hopefully this initiative will help in supplementing the role already played by LML in sharing information and knowledge about leprosy.
Today e-mail and internet based information has changed the way of collecting, disseminating and sharing information. Persons who read the texts have the possibility to intervene, comment and share their own experiences. Thus your reactions to the text and slides will play a vital role in enriching and improving them.
With this message, you will find the index of different chapters that will be circulated through LML.
With best wishes,
Sunil Deepak
