Dear
Salvatore,
I am happy to inform our LML members that a new multi authored "IAL
text book of leprosy' edited by Dr HK Kar and Dr Bhushan Kumar,
was released at the national conference of Indian Association of
Leprologists (IAL) in October 2009. Now
the same is available for purchase for all, published by Jaypee
bothers medical publishers of
India
. The “url” for the same is given below.
It is a multi authored comprehensive text book of leprosy of about 600
glossy pages with coloured illustrations and detailed model
charts for recording patients details etc. It
has 9 sections and a total of 47 chapters with references at end
of each chapter.

If we recollect, we had a discussion whether there is a need for
a comprehensive text book of leprosy about two to three years back on
this forum. I hope this
text book would fill the lack of such a comprehensive
text book on leprosy with latest details which was felt by
few of us. I am happy to
state that I was a part of this endeavor.
I would recommend this book for all who are teaching leprosy and
also as a reference book for medical colleges and other institutes
working on leprosy.
With best regards,
P. Narasimha Rao
