Dear
Salvatore,
Thanks for
publishing our bulletin. Please
find the latest publication of Brazilian Ministry of Health on the
current Hansen’s disease situation in the country (both Portuguese
and English versions).
The 10 major
leprosy clusters comprise more than 1,100 municipalities. It would be
difficult to enlist the relevant towns, districts and states involved. I’m attaching a map of
Brazil
(1, 2)
– for comparison – so that one can have an idea of the spots! More
information on this issue can be asked to the national leprosy program
coordinator through the following e-mail: maria.leide@saude.gov.br
I take this
occasion to wish Season’s greetings to all LML readers.
