LEPROSY
Using the classification, the following images illustrate patients with -
1. Paucibacillarvy (PB) leprosy, who by definition have 1-5 skin lesions, and
2. Multibacillary (MB) leprosy, who have 6 or more skin lesions.
With the exception of two pictures(see Neural Leprosy), this Atlas does not include information on the mainly neural or neurological aspects of leprosy. There are numerous other publications on these important aspects of the disease, several of which are given under References and Further Reading(see Reference and Further Reading)
・These pictures are intended as an aid to recognition and diagnosis
・In nearly all cases, leprosy can be diagnosed on clinical signs alone
・When in doubt about the diagnosis, send the patient to the nearest referral centre
