Leprosy Mailing List – October 17th, 2011
Ref.: The diagnosis of leprosy
From: N Dayanghirang, Manila, Philippines
Hi Dr S. Noto
I was browsing the internet and chanced upon the following paper:
The abstract (below) talks about an atlas for diagnosing Hansen's disease (made by you and your colleagues). I would like to request a copy. It would be very helpful in my work (to assist Federated States of Micronesia in achieving the WHO Elimination of leprosy as a public health problem).
Thank you.
Abstract
“The Leprosy Mailing List (LML) is an e-mailing list open to whoever interested in the field from all over the world. It acts as a forum for exchanging information related to Hansen's disease. It was established in February 2001 in Italy, and the present moderator of the LML is Dr Salvatore Noto. He and his colleagues have recently introduced an atlas for diagnosing Hansen's disease. The atlas is divided into three sections, (1) Introduction, (2) Cardinal signs, and (3) Diagnosis and the clinical spectrum of leprosy, and they are all accompanied with relevant photos. This time, Dr Noto kindly permitted us to translate the atlas into Japanese to be published in the Japanese Journal of Leprosy and posted in the Japanese Leprosy Association homepage. This article includes the translation and some of the most informative photos. For more information, please refer to the homepage where you will find all photos in the atlas.”
