Ref.: (LML) Infolep monthly overview of new publications on leprosy. August, 2023
From: Roos Geutjes & Josephine Breman-Srivastava, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Dear colleagues,
The World Health Organization launched the technical guidance document on Interruption of transmission and elimination of leprosy disease; as well as its accompanying tools: Leprosy Elimination Monitoring Tool (LEMT); and Leprosy Programme and Transmission Assessment. These documents were launched during the opening session of the WHO consultation workshop for island countries and countries close to elimination in Manila, Philippines. You can find the documents in the Practical Materials section below.
Anesvad Foundation and Raoul Follereau Foundation launched a call for research projects on neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) with cutaneous manifestations. The call is addressed specifically to young researchers, or research teams, from endemic countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The call is open until the 28th of September, 2023.
In addition to publications and practical materials, this month's newsletter has a section highlighting a few case reports. They focus on complications, misdiagnosis, case detection, diagnosis and treatment.
Enjoy reading the latest publications that are listed below. Feel free to contact us to receive the full-text versions when these cannot be found on Infolep. We would also be happy to assist you with literature searches.
Warm regards,
