Leprosy :
Leprosy is medically termed as Hansen's disease, a chronic bacterial skin disease. There are four types of leprosy based on the intensity of immune response. Leprosy predominantly affects the skin, nervous system and eyes. It manifests as lighter and non-healing skin lesions on the affected areas, persistent numbness of extremities, potential blindness, painful neuropathy, generalized muscle weakness, and other structural abnormalities. It is easily spreadable through droplets or direct skin contact with affected persons. This condition is evaluated by tissue biopsy and treated by certified dermatologists with multiple drug therapy and other protective measures. Individuals with leprosy face critical societal discrimination and need counseling services to maintain mental health. Early detection and management of the leprosy condition may help in prevention of disability.
