Ref.: (LML) Hospitalization in leprosy |
From: Maria Leide, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Dear Pieter and Colleagues,
I agree with Dr. Ben (see LML of October 26 and 27, 2016) and since the official Brazilian guidelines from the years 1976, the leprosy treatment has been done in out-patient clinics.
Considering that usually MB patients are not easily diagnosed at the beginning of its disease, the great problem is the pre-diagnosis/treatment period.
The indications of leprosy patient hospitalizations are recommended only in the case of severe reactions, rehabilitation surgery and treatment complications.
