Ref.: (LML) Lepr Rev (2015) 86, page 124 LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Reply to Role of Contact tracing and prevention Strategies in the interruption of leprosy transmission - Chemoprophylaxis: a call for more research
From: Pranab Kumar Das, Birmingham, UK
Dear Pieter,
I find the contribution by Paul Saunderson (LML April 12, 2015) editor LR by mailing the page 124 Letters to the Editor referred in Leprosy Rev March 2015 vo. 86 No 1 is very thoughtful and useful for me personally because of two reasons:
1) I can read them by just clicking and
2) the subject matter is of great interest to the public at large, who are engaged in leprosy from academic , scientific and clinical points of view.
Last but not the least , as I did not have the access to Lep. Rev. I am thankful to Paul for his present contribution. Leprosy Review on-line: https://www.lepra.org.uk/leprosy-review
One could also ask to be notified in case of a new issue.
Finally, I have had a quick glance at the "to and fro exchange of letters”. It is quite clear to me that no one is giving an important consideration to establish a ground rule on the basis of personalised medicine to monitor the patients individually for the completion of the treatment before declaring the patients as "Released from treatment" [i.e. RFT]. As well as a measure of control of transmission and monitoring the contacts or exposed individuals according to the same criteria, before even considering the use of chemoprophylaxis at large.
Nevertheless, thanks to Paul. It will be good to have the access of this journal on line, so that I could read it regularly.
Sincerely,
Pran (albeit Pranab Kumar Das)
