Dear Pieter,

First of all, a good and prosperous 2014 for everybody!

Thanks to your friends for the opportunity to share Doctor Wang' case. I would like to submit two short suggestions:

1- I could consider the possibility of applying some local healing stimuli, such  as laser therapy exposure(1) on the ulcerative lesion;

2- I don't know the conditions of the Chinese  prisons, but  it seems reasonable to  me to look for contacts (by skin, infusion  or drinking) with drugs that can promote leprosy reactions. Here in Brazil we have some experience with iodine products provoking ENL. I remember a published case of an alcohol addicted prisoner I have seen some years ago: working  as nursing auxiliary, he died because of repeatedly continuous mercurochrome ingestion.

Best regards,

Aguinaldo
