Comments to the letter to the editor of Dr Sweta Subhadarshani.

Abstract

We thank dr Sweta Subhadarshani for his complements and for his addition to our article . We would like to make a few comments: He is right that there are more presentations of clinical leprosy than we mention in our paper. It is a continuous scale, just to mention a few: low resistant T and BT/BB, BB/BL and sub polar LL, histoid leprosy and lepra bonita. It is a gliding scale and each subtype has slightly different manifestations. But we are very glad he mentions histoid leprosy. It indeed is a fascinating subtype. We left it out because it was for the non-leprologist already included in "nodular" Lepromatous leprosy. We have seen it together with dr John Pearson in the early seventies in Ethiopia in dapsone resistant leprosy. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
