Ref.: (LML) Smoking and leprosy
From: PK Das, Birmingham, UK
Dear Pieter,
Please refer to the useful evidence based note by Prof. Terrence Ryan on "the smoking and leprosy" (LML, August 5, 2015). His comment "the best evidence is for delay in the healing of wounds for which there is much evidence today and was so even at the time I wrote my article", makes sense. As in my note on this subject I pointed out that the science of patho-mechanistic of wound healing or aggravating wounds or ulcers, however is not that simple rather complex. Effect of smoking in relation to the susceptibility of leprosy per se, due to immune suppression is an overstretched speculation.
I thank Terence for this journal. I shall encourage our Intercalating students of Population Science/International Health to publish their successful elective period research in this journal.
Regards,
Pran(ab).
