Dr. Koticha has a remarkable ability to absorb information about leprosy and present it in a concise understandable fashion. His interest in the disease spans molecular biology of Mycobacterium leprae to reconstructive surgery. This book is intended to supplement and update his 1990 text Leprosy-A Concise Text. His new volume contains 582 references from 1990 through 1996. Dr. Koticha is again to be congratulated for producing a concise, current and comprehensive summation of a vast amount of published information on leprosy. - RCH
