Dear Dr. Kar,
Sometimes primary neuritic leprosy can pose a diagnostic problem. A helpful and simple technique to set the diagnosis is by "cytological needle aspiration" of the affected nerve as developed at Anandaban Leprosy Hospital in Nepal. A full description of the technique is published in "Clinical Aspects of Nerve Damage in Leprosy" p 93. A free copy of this is most likely available at:
