- Abstract
Nerve function impairment (NFI) is the key outcome of the pathological processes of infection with Mycobacterium leprae, which can continue after completion of multidrug therapy (MDT) and lead to disability after leprosy patients are released from treatment. The objective of this study was to assess the need for and duration of surveillance of NFI.
