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,
