About the Book

Is it not quite surprising that there is no atlas of leprosy published from India, probably not a viable one exists in the whole world? India has the highest number of leprosy patients, leprosy comes in the differential diagnosis of a host of skin disorders.

Clinical Leprology is a fascinating subject. It is startling that a single bacillus produces so many clinical variations! Colour Atlas of Leprosy contains photographs of all possible clinical presentations of leprosy, neurological complications, unusual presentations and important differential diagnosis. To make it a comprehensive one, precise history, bacteriology, methods of diagnosis, classifications, complications and treatment of leprosy have been included.
