Ref.: (LML) Leprosy Eponym: need for a medical name
From: Francesca Gajete, Manila, the Philippines
Dear Pieter,
We fully agree with both Dr Diana Lockwood and Dr Ruth Butlin to give Leprosy a new name, it is about time for Leprosy Interests Groups to look into this concern.
Mycobacterial Neurodermatosis or simply Neurodermatosis aptly describes what leprosy is, more so, it emphasizes the need for neurological examination.
We are equally grateful for bringing this up.
Sincerely,
Francesca Cando Gajete,MD,MHA,FPLS
