During the year 1994-1995, 20 of the 67 leprosy patients attending the dermatology department with any kind of nerve involvement were found to be having nerve abscess. These abscesses occurred in all types of leprosy (except the Indeterminate) and a variety of nerve trunks and cutaneous nerves. In none of the instances the abscess was associated with reaction. All the patients were surgically treated, without any steroid therapy. All cases showed significant improvement whenever there was nerve function deficit. Similarly, pain was relieved in all cases, when it was present.
在1994年至1995年期间，在皮肤科就诊的67例有任何类型神经受累的麻风病患者中，有20例被发现患有神经脓肿。这些脓肿发生在所有类型的麻风病（未定类除外）以及各种神经干和皮神经中。在所有病例中，脓肿均与反应无关。所有患者均接受了手术治疗，未进行任何类固醇治疗。只要存在神经功能缺损，所有病例均显示出显著改善。同样，所有有疼痛症状的病例，疼痛都得到了缓解。
