Extractions: Home Classic texts Thomas The Eclectic Practice of Medicine by Rolla L. Thomas, M. S., M. D., 1907. Leprosy. Synonyms Definition History .—Leprosy existed in Egypt 3500 B. C., and the clear-cut and well-defined description of the disease and the methods of dealing with it, as found in the thirteenth and fourteenth chapters of Leviticus, show that the writer was as familiar with it as the authors of modern times. Lucretius says, "Leprosy is a disease born in Egypt along the waters of the Nile, and nowhere else." The Hebrews brought it with them from the land of bondage, and to be a leper was worse than death. India, Arabia, Palestine, and China have also been its home from the earliest times. During the decline of the Roman Empire, when Europe was overrun with immigration, leprosy increased to an alarming extent. Rev. L. W. Mulhane, in a little work on "Leprosy and the Charity of the Church," says: "In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the awful disease had made such headway that leper institutions might be said to cover the face of Europe, and at one time there was scarcely a town in France but had its leper asylum, and in the kingdom of France alone there were two thousand leproseries—hospitals for lepers. "In England one hundred and ten leper-houses existed from the twelfth to the sixteenth century."

Extractions: This is a story about today's technology and an ancient disease. It is set in the beautiful but poor Kingdom of Nepal and describes scientists who are sharing their skills and using molecular biology to understand and control leprosy. Jenny Davis tells the story of her visit to the "Forest of Joy" outside Kathmandu. A road leading up to the Forest of Joy I am a microbiologist in an Australian public health laboratory. We have modern equipment and use sophisticated methods to investigate infectious disease problems in our community. But I've wondered about how much use this technology would be if I was in a lab in a developing country -basic health needs mean basic lab techniques, right? Then last year, I heard Australian immunologist Dr Paul Roche speak about his research work with leprosy in Nepal. I thought Paul was great. He was very aware of the ethics of conducting research in a developing country; he was keen to apply cutting-edge techniques to solve complex problems; and best of all, he was enthusiastic about the sharing of skills with his Nepali scientific colleagues. I decided to visit him at the Mycobacterial Research Laboratory at Anandaban Leprosy Hospital, Nepal.

We thought there must have been a reason for this, so we decided to look for signs of leprosy - a cause of fear and stigma at the time - in addition to the tuberculosis which we had already found to be present," infectious disease expert Mark Spigelman, one of the University College London's scientist who carried out the study, said. Indeed, the man's body turned out to also bear DNA traces of infection with the leprosy bacteria.

Extractions: DESCRIPTION: A chronic granulomatous infection caused by Mycobacterium leprae, an organism which has a high predilection for cooler regions - skin, mucous membrane and peripheral nerves. Leprosy is classified on a spectrum reflecting degrees of lost immunity (Ridley-Jopling classification). Early cutaneous lesions; Findings are very subtle most commonly diagnosed in contacts of known leprosy cases. The lesions tend to heal spontaneously, but may progress to any of the other leprosy types. Characterized by early localized skin lesions and/or nerve lesions. Bacilli are few and difficult to find. Resistance to infection is high, and spontaneous recovery may occur; however peripheral nerves can be destroyed. A generalized infection involving skin, oral, nasal, and upper respiratory mucous membrane, the anterior eye, cutaneous and peripheral nerve trunks, the RE system, adrenals, and testes. Numerous bacilli are easily found in tissue specimens. Patient's resistance to infection is low, and untreated disease is progressive This has features of both TT and LL poles in various combinations. Usually sub-divided into borderline tuberculoid (BT), mid-borderline (BB) and borderline lepromatous (BL). Borderline forms are unstable and may regress (reversal reaction) toward TT form or progress (Downgrading reaction) toward the LL form, depending on the effects of treatment and shifts in immune status

Medical Encyclopedia Alternate Names : Hansen's Disease Definition Leprosy is an infectious disease that has been known since biblical times. It is characterized by disfiguring skin lesions, peripheral nerve damage, and progressive debilitation. Leprosy is caused by the organism Mycobacterium leprae . It is a difficult disease to transmit and has a long incubation period, which makes it difficult to determine where or when the disease was contracted. Children are more susceptible than adults to contracting the disease.

Extractions: LESSENING THE BURDEN OF LEPROSY Still viewed by many as an ancient incurable scourge that leads to physical rejection and deformity, treatment for leprosy has advanced along with the times. by Jon Nalick Most people consider leprosy a scourge of Biblical times that only exists today, if anywhere, in third world countries with little access to modern medicines. Although the Bible contains numerous references to leprosy, it remains unclear whether the disease we know by that name today is the same because the Greek root of the word, lepros , refers to spots that are scaly, scabby or rough, which could refer to any number of illnesses. But according to Thomas Rea, M.D., USC clinical professor of medicine, the disease remains a serious threat to public health worldwide, occurring in more than half a million people each year, some of them in the United States. Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, is endemic to Texas, Louisiana and Hawaii as well as Mexico, the Caribbean, almost all of South America, Southern Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia, and most of the islands in the Pacific, he says. India, Indonesia and Myanmar account for 70 percent of all the cases in the world. Rea, who directs the Hansen's Disease Clinic at LAC+USC Medical Center, says the clinic currently tracks more than 500 cases of leprosy, with about 30 new case registrations each year in Los Angeles.

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease of humans caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae. For many years, it was considered a mysterious disorder associated with some type of curse, and persons with the disease were isolated and ostracized. Today, there is effective treatment and the disease can be cured. There is no longer any justification for isolating persons with leprosy.

Extractions: The Society for the Lepers of Paraguay needs funds to purchase medicine to cure those in Paraguay who suffer from Hansens Leprosy Hansens Disease is a difficult disease to control, especially in a country like Paraguay where leprosy is a social problem. Lack of education still causes people with Hansens Leprosy to be outcasts. Many people with the disease, who live in the country, will not report or register their disease, often out of fear of loosing their jobs. Many times they refuse to be treatment for the same reason. In the rural areas leprosy is on the rise. The Patronata de Leproso del Paraguay (Society for the Lepers of Paraguay) last reported that there are approximately 1,200 adults and children infected with Hansens Leprosy, and this is a low estimate. The medicine that is used for the cure of Hansens Disease must be taken for two years. Patronata de Leproso del Paraguay is able to purchase the medicine at a very low price. For just $20 per month ($240 per year) you can help provide a cure for a special child or adult The Leprosy Sponsorship Program is coordinated through Anibal Fadlala, Vice President of the Patronata de Leproso del Paraguay.

Extractions: Director, Department of Bioregulation, Leprosy Research Center, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Higashimurayama, Tokyo, JAPAN, norishii@nih.go.jp Leprosy, a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae , was identified by G. H. A. Hansen in 1873. The different clinical presentations of the disease are determined by the quality of the host immune response. The bacteria have affinity for the peripheral nerves and are likely the cause of neuropathy, a cardinal manifestation of the disease. WHO recommends a protocol of multidrug therapy (MDT), which effectively controls the disease, hence contributing to the global elimination program. Early detection of leprosy and treatment by MDT are the most important steps in preventing deformity and disability.
