Dear Dr. Schreuder.

 

We reported a single patient treated with cyclosporine with good results.  A lot has changed since then but it might be a consideration, depending on specific patient factors.

 

Int J Lepr Other Mycobact Dis. 1992 Mar;60(1):8-12.

Resolution of type 1 reaction in multibacillary Hansen's disease as a result of treatment with cyclosporine.

Frankel RI1, Mita RT, Kim R, Dann FJ.

 

Kind regards.

 

Richard I. Frankel, M.D., M.P.H.

Emeritus Professor of Medicine

University of Hawai'i John A. Burns School of Medicine
