ABSTRACT
The responsibility for treating leprosy patients is being passed on to the general medical and health care services, predominantly located in primary health care centres. It therefore becomes necessary for the staff of these services to have clear guidelines on what they should do to prevent permanent nerve damage and its consequences when they come across a leprosy patient with neuritis or nerve function deficit. Six algorithms to help achieve this purpose are presented in this article.
