Ref.:  (LML) Infolep monthly overview of new publications on leprosy, December 2022

From:  Roos Geutjes, Marente Mol, Amsterdam, the Netherlands


Dear colleagues, 

Last month, the 21st International Leprosy Congress took place in Hyderabad, India. The congress was a great success, with many interesting presentations, fruitful discussions and valuable connections, thereby strengthening international collaboration in working towards a world without leprosy. A big thanks to the organizing committee and all participants for their contribution!

Leprosy Research Initiative has announced two calls for proposals: a regular grant and a new research capacity strengthening grant. Researchers can now apply - make sure to submit your Letter of Intent timely!

More information on this, along with other news and events, can be found at the bottom of this newsletter.

The ILEP Technical Commission, Global Partnership for Zero Leprosy and Infolep collaborated to produce a fact-sheet on leprosy reactions. This document provides essential information on how to classify and manage reactions before, during, and after leprosy treatment.

Sunil Kumar Sahoo published a poetry book called 'The Felony', which illustrates the social injustice experienced by persons affected by leprosy. Thanks for sharing your work with us!

The links to the above mentioned publications can be found below. Enjoy reading these and other latest publications! Also, we would be happy to assist you with literature searches on Infolep.


Warm regards,

Roos Geutjes & Marente Mol
