Leprosy Mailing List – January 25, 2013
Ref.: (LML) New Diagnostic Test
From: Dr. Maria Lucia Penna, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Dear Editor,
Last Monday the New York Times published an article under the head line "Fast new test could find leprosy before damage is lasting"
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/20/health/fast-new-test-could-help-nip-leprosy-in-the-bud.html?_r=0
"IDRI (Infectious Disease Research Institute, http://www.idri.org/leprosy-diagnostics.php), in conjunction with OrangeLife, a Brazilian diagnostic company, today announces the registration of a rapid diagnostic test for leprosy, offering new hope for early diagnosis and treatment. The test was registered through ANVISA, Brazil's regulatory authority"
Last Friday all main Brazilian newspaper printed the same new. As we are discussing this issue here in the country, I would like to hear the opinion of other leprosy mailing list members.
I will be very glad if you could post this message on the list.
Sincerely yours
Lucia Penna
