Dear Salvatore,

 

Thank you very much to Ms Canata for her message [LML August 10^th, 2012] about the new case detection rate (NCDR) trends by W.H.O. selected regions.  The data will be useful for my teaching medical and dental students and practitioner.  In this regard, could you kindly provide me with the similar data [new cases (NCD)] in EUROPE?  As I understand there is still leprosy in a scattered fashion in parts of Europe like Spain, also we have seen in Holland very sporadic, and I am sure if one looks into deeply, leprosy is to be found in UK, France, Italy, Portugal, Greece etc.

 

Secondly, I would like also your opinion on different topics but, this is coming with my next message [as you suggested for the LML is better to apply the rule << one message one topic>>].

 

Thank you very much.

 

Pran
