摘要

Nerve Function Impairment has been a prime hallmark of Type 1 Reaction in leprosy, whichoften leads to deformities and disability if not treated effectively.1 Steroid has been a drug ofchoice to treat severe reactions and nerve damage since the mid-20th century. Therecommended therapy regimen starts with 40mg per day for 2 weeks, followed by subsequenttapering for 12 weeks.2 Although the optimal dose and duration of therapy are still beingstudied, steroid is generally accepted as the standard treatment. It is evident from publishedarticles that oral steroid therapy may reverse nerve function impairment up to 50 – 70%.3–5Therefore completing appropriate courses of steroid therapy may improve the function ofinvolved peripheral nerves, and prevent the development of secondary deformity. For manytherapeutic regimes in chronic disease like hansen’s and tuberculosis (Multi-drug therapy andWHO oral steroid therapy), poor adherence affects the clinical outcome and results in aconsiderable financial burden on society and modern health care system.4.
