What is Leprosy?

Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. It primarily affects the skin, nerves, eyes, and mucous membranes. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications, including nerve damage and deformities.

Causes of Leprosy

Mycobacterium leprae infection
Spread through prolonged close contact with untreated patients
Primarily transmitted via respiratory droplets
Genetic susceptibility may play a role

Symptoms of Leprosy

Discolored patches of skin with loss of sensation
Thickened, dry, or scaly skin
Numbness in hands, feet, and affected areas
Muscle weakness and paralysis
Ulcers on the soles of the feet
Eye damage, leading to vision problems
Deformities in advanced stages

Types of Leprosy

Paucibacillary (PB) Leprosy (Mild Form)

Few skin lesions with limited nerve involvement
Less contagious

Multibacillary (MB) Leprosy (Severe Form)

Multiple lesions and nodules
Extensive nerve involvement
Higher bacterial load, more contagious

Prevention of Leprosy

Early diagnosis and treatment to prevent transmission
Avoid prolonged close contact with untreated patients
BCG vaccine may offer partial protection
Maintaining good hygiene and overall health

Treatment for Leprosy

Multidrug Therapy (MDT) (combination of Rifampicin, Dapsone, and Clofazimine)
Long-term treatment (6 months to 1 year, or more for severe cases)
Anti-inflammatory drugs (steroids, thalidomide) for nerve damage
Physical therapy to prevent disability
Reconstructive surgery for deformities
