Ref.: (LML) A new Atlas of Leprosy
From: Sunil Deepak, Schio, Italy
Dear friends,
I would like to inform you about a new Atlas of Leprosy (2025), edited by Shekhar Neema, Santoshdev P Rathod & Biju Vasudevan, and published by CRC Press, Boca Raton, Florida, USA.
In the introduction of the Atlas, it says: "Atlas of Leprosy comprehensively covers the varied manifestations, including common and uncommon presentations, of leprosy, supported by patient photographs and additional video content, to assist medical practitioners diagnose leprosy in the early stages. With a detailed guide to approaching bedside diagnostic tests, this book will help readers visualise common and uncommon presentations of leprosy ..."
In the preface it says: "With the declining prevalence of leprosy across the globe, there has been a scarcity of modern literature on leprosy. This has raised concerns about declining expertise to diagnose and suspect leprosy. However, according to the last world epidemiological record by the World Health Organization, in September 2022 there were still more than 100,000 newly diagnosed cases across the globe. There is a felt need for a modern atlas on the clinical features of leprosy, more so in skin of colour ..."
Personally, I am happy to see younger dermatologists take an active role in bringing out such an atlas. I am looking forward to going through it.
Warm regards,
Dr Sunil Deepak
