Dear Dr Noto,

 

I have historical papers about leprosy in Yemen .  A Russian dermatologist, ''Lavrik AU'', has published them (see below):-

Vestn Dermatol Venerol. 1983 Jul;(7):66-70

Vestn Dermatol Venerol. 1983 Apr;(4):46-9

Vestn Dermatol Venerol. 1974 Jun;0(6):70-3

Vestn Dermatol Venerol. 1973 Mar;47(3):57-60

Vestn Dermatol Venerol. 1970 Jun;44(6):56-8

I have collected a copy of these papers and I want to study them to see the situation of leprosy at that time and how people was reacting and dealing with it.  Is there anybody in the LML from Russia who can volunteer to translate them in English for me?

I look forward to your reply.  With my thanks and regards,

Yours sincerely,
