Lucknow: A systematic review and meta-analyses of published cases done by department of neurology at the King George’s Medical University (KGMU) has concluded that leprosy can affect brain and spinal cord too. Prof. R K Garg, HoD neurology at the KGMU, said: “It was earlier believed the mycobacterium leprae, the bacteria that causes leprosy, primarily troubles the peripheral nerves and does not affect brain and spinal cord. Our study has found it can affect the brain and spinal cord too.” This systematic review aimed to investigate central nervous system (CNS) involvement in leprosy by analysing multiple cohort studies, individual cases and case series. A total of 34 records were identified
