Dear
LML readers,
I
have the pleasure to introduce you to a joint effort by Bernard Naafs,
Salvatore Noto, Enrico Nunzi, Pieter Schreuder and with an important
input from Grace Warren, about "Diagnosis of Leprosy". This
work will be presented through the Leprosy Mailing List (LML) in the
coming days. It will also
be freely accessible through the archives of LML on internet.
Over
the last two decades, the global leprosy situation has changed
significantly. During
this period, there has been a lot of attention directed towards the
public health aspects of leprosy control and relatively less attention
towards the clinical aspects of the disease.
At the same time, clinical expertise about leprosy is slowly
declining, and many young clinicians find difficulty in attaining
access to reliable information about the clinical aspects of the
disease. Hopefully this initiative will help in supplementing the role
already played by LML in sharing information and knowledge about
leprosy.
Today
e-mail and internet based information has changed the way of
collecting, disseminating and sharing information.
Persons who read the texts have the possibility to intervene,
comment and share their own experiences.
Thus your reactions to the text and slides will play a vital
role in enriching and improving them.
With
this message, you will find the index of
different chapters that will be circulated through LML.
With
best wishes,
Sunil
Deepak
