Dear Pieter,

 

A reply to Joel Almeida's March 26 post

Thanks again to Joel Almeida for taking the time to translate scientifically, in a very didactic way for visualization and with bibliographical references.

In Brazil, mainly in hyperendemic areas, we observed exactly this profile of ENL and neurites.

Brazilian guidelines still insist on maintaining 12 doses of MDT, even with all this scientific evidence.

In fact, we can observe in the clinical evolutions that there are different multibacillary patients and prognoses.

 

Perhaps we are making a mistake in putting all these patients in the same basket?

 

Best Regards,

 

Laila de Laguiche
