Wound Care For People Affected by Leprosy: A Guide for Low Resource Situations

This guide has been compiled for people who have responsibility for wound care amongst people affected by leprosy. It gives readers an opportunity to learn about the normal body response to tissue damage and seeks to encourage readers to use simple methods of treatment to assist the body as it tries to repair itself.
Some technical terms have been included in the text deliberately. This is because readers are encouraged to seek further information from other sources which may be aimed at readers who are more familiar with technical terms. Where technical terms are used in this guide, they have been highlighted in Italic. Where highlighted italic text is found, a simple definition for the term can also be found in a glossary at the end of the section. There is a glossary at the end of each major section throughout the guide.
