Ref.: (LML) Median nerve damage in leprosy
From: Marcos Virmond, Bauru, Brazil
Dear Pieter
Discussions initiated by Dr. Noto on nerve damage/surgery (Dr. Theuvenet) are most welcome and comments by Dr. De Laguiche quite opportune.
Let me say that this issue has direct connection with a post by Dr. B. Naafs some weeks ago, which I dare to resume on the following - monitoring nerve function is an essential step in the follow-up of leprosy cases.
In the same line, I dare to say that - correctly indicated, opportune and quality nerve decompression surgery is an essential part of any leprosy control program. It must be available as a choice for cases with progressive nerve function loss non responsive to adequate steroids treatment.
With kind regards,
Marcos Virmond
