Leprosy neuropathy evaluated by NCS is independent of the patient's infectious state

Highlights • The presence of acute events of leprosy neuropathy even after a long period of time after RFT. • There is not a typical pattern of nerve lesion in leprosy neuropathy even in the same patient. • The asymmetric neuropathy observed is explained by the variable degrees of nerve involvement....

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • The presence of acute events of leprosy neuropathy even after a long period of time after RFT. • There is not a typical pattern of nerve lesion in leprosy neuropathy even in the same patient. • The asymmetric neuropathy observed is explained by the variable degrees of nerve involvement. • NCS of motor and sensory nerves performed before, during, and after multidrug therapy (MDT). • At all stages, NCS alterations were similar regarding of the damage and type of lesion.
