Ref.: (LML) Hospitalization in leprosy
From: Barabino Gianfranco, Genua, Italy
Dear Dr Schreuder,
I would like inquiring about the length of hospital admission for multibacillary leprosy with positive nasal swab in other institutions in Europe.
Here in Genoa we admit leprosy patients at diagnosis till the nasal swab is negative. This takes on average 2-3 months.
Hospital administrators say it is a too long admission period. I would like to know what other western leprosy referral centres do and to discuss this aspect with them.
Thank you very much in advance. Best regards,
G. Barabino
