Ref.: Request of
information about the history of leprosy in China
From: Yamaguchi K., Tokyo, Japan
Dear Dr. Salvatore Noto,
I suggest Mr. Kokubu to contact the editors of the book (The
Modern Leprology) in which he has found the photo of the
'massacre' of White Mountain in Guangdong. This book was
published by National Institute of STD/HIV and Leprosy, CAMS in
Nanjing after painstaking preparation and editing. The editor in
chief was, I believe, Prof. Li Wenzhong and the history part was
written by Prof. Jiang Cheng who is one of the authorities of leprosy
in China. He will have no difficulty finding their contact
addresses since he has or has seen the book.
Regards,
K Yamaguchi
