(LML) To differentiate between diabetic neuropathy and pure neuritic leprosy neuropathy

Leprosy Mailing List – April 29,  2018

Ref.:  (LML) To differentiate between diabetic neuropathy and pure neuritic leprosy neuropathy 

From:   Shubhada Pandya, Mumbai, India


 

Dear Sir,

 

The ankle jerk is more likely to be absent in diabetic than leprous polyneuropathy.

The questioner has not provided information on the tendon reflexes.

 

Sincerely,

 

Shubhada Pandya
