J Am Med Assoc, Apr 1957; 163: 1662: ULNAR NERVE PALSY. To the Editor: -- In The Journal of Feb. 9, 1957, page 517, an inquiry concerning a 44-year-old farmer from the Pecos Valley of New Mexico is discussed. While the replies of the consultants answered the specific question raised, it would seem that the discussion was incomplete. Unilateral tunar neuropathy in a man from this geographical location should make one highly suspicious of leprosy. In its early stages the neural form of leprosy frequently involves only one nerve. The cutaneous lesions generally associated with leprosy may be evanescent or may not appear for a number of years after the onset of neuritic symptoms. In this case, presumably the more common causes for an ulnar neuropathy have been eliminated as diagnostic possibilities. It might be well to investigate the problem with leprosy in mind. C. Clark Leydic Jr., M.D., 2435 E. Adams St., Tucson, Ariz.
