Description
Leprosy in India is a landmark medical text by T. R. Lewis and D. D. Cunningham that provides an in-depth examination of one of history’s most stigmatized diseases. Originally published during the colonial period, this work combines clinical observation with epidemiological analysis to understand leprosy’s prevalence and progression across the Indian subcontinent.
The authors draw on decades of medical practice and research to document the disease’s manifestations, transmission patterns, and effects on affected populations. The book addresses both the biological aspects of leprosy and its profound social implications, offering insights into patient care and public health measures. This historical medical text remains significant for understanding the disease’s history in India and the evolution of tropical medicine during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
