Dear Dr Penumaka,

As information officer at INFOLEP, the Leprosy Information Services, I might be able to help you on your way (LML Nov. 17th 2005). Please find below the result of a quick search on "silent neuritis" in Pubmed (www.pubmed.gov). A second search with other keywords may be advisable. If necessary I can send you the full text of articles you find interesting.
