Dear Pieter, 

We are now using an ENL severity score that we have developed and validated as part of the ENLIST trial.

I have been using it here in London and finding it v useful. One can monitor ENL severity and response to treatment.

I would encourage other people to use this tool. We would appreciate as many people as possible using this in their clinics.

We developed the scale in earlier work and have validated it in the Plos NTD paper of 2017.

By attached file the form and users guide which comes on behalf of the ENLIST group.

Good Luck,

 

Diana NJ Lockwood
