Regarding leprosy
One year ago my father diagnosed with leprosy. He has been taking MDT MB for last 1 year. This is his 12th month.On October 29,2021 he will finish his 1 year dose. My concern is that whether he should continue his MDT dose furthermore or not or it is his last dose. And should he examine AFB skin smear test to know whether he is fully recovered or not.
