Ref.: Thalidomide for the
treatment of ENL reaction
From: de
Koning P., Würzburg , Germany
Dear
Salvatore,
I am amazed
that nobody even mentions the benefits of thalidomide. In my view it has been
discarded too easily, and patients such as the one described by Dr.
Uwyse (LML Nov. 1st , 2008) suffer the consequences.
Greetings,
