High-resolution ultrasonography for early diagnosis of neural impairment in seropositive leprosy household contacts.
Leprosy household contacts (HC) represent a high-risk group for the development of the disease. Anti-PGL-I IgM seropositivity also increases the risk of illness. Despite significant advances in leprosy control, it remains a public health problem; and early diagnosis of this peripheral neuropathy rep...
