Editors

Dear All,
Leprosy is a chronic
granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, an
acid-fast bacillus. It
may cause disabilities to the patients by its neurological
complications. It is a
very old human disease and still remains an important health problem
in several countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Leprosy is among a few
diseases in the history of medicine that attracted physicians to
devote special periodicals in its name.
In this project I am trying
to compile a table about the history of leprosy periodicals;
particularly about the Editors of these periodicals. I would like inviting
colleagues from the Leprosy Mailing List to comments add, and amend
the table in attachment, to reach to a comprehensive view about this
aspect of leprosy history.
In
attachment is an Excel file to show the draft of the format I am
using. Kindly, forward
your contributions to this subject to myself or to Dr Noto.
