Time.com People Fortune EW Koizumi faces test over leprosy verdict Some 1000 former leprosy patients have joined a class action against the Japanese government By staff and wire reports TOKYO, Japan A key minister in Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's fledgling government is threatening to quit over a controversial court ruling in favor of former leprosy patients. The issue represents Koizumi's first real internal political battle since he took office last month, replacing the deeply unpopular Yoshiro Mori. Health Minister Chikara Sakaguchi said on Wednesday he might resign if the government appeals a landmark ruling ordering the payment of compensation to former leprosy patients isolated for decades because of their illness. According to the national Mainichi newspaper, the health minister, a member of the Komei Party, has told fellow lawmakers in the party that he wants to resign if the government appeals. Sakaguchi later told reporters he had informed his colleagues that he is "personally" opposed to appealing the court decision.

NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Leprosy (Hansen's disease) What is leprosy? Leprosy is a chronic bacterial disease of the skin, nerves in the hands and feet and, in some cases, the lining of the nose. Leprosy is a rare disease in the United States. Who gets leprosy? Anyone can get leprosy, but children seem to be more susceptible than adults. How is leprosy spread? It is not clear how the leprosy germ is spread, but household and prolonged close contact is important. The germs probably enter the body through the nose and possibly through broken skin. The germs get in the air through nasal discharge of untreated lepromatous patients. What are the symptoms of leprosy? Tuberculoid leprosy symptoms are a few well-defined skin lesions that are numb. Lepromatous leprosy symptoms are a chronically stuffy nose and many skin lesions and nodules on both sides of the body. How soon after exposure do symptoms appear? It usually takes about four years for tuberculoid leprosy symptoms to appear and about eight years for lepromatous leprosy symptoms to appear. When and for how long is a person able to spread leprosy?

Site map Search: Home Bacterial Leprosy Leprosy is a chronic bacterial infection with Mycobacterium leprae . It primarily affects the skin, mucous membranes (e.g. nose), peripheral nervous system (nerve function), eyes and testes. The form the disease takes depends on the person's immune response to the infection. Leprosy is also known as Hansen's disease and is one of the oldest known diseases of mankind. It is curable but if untreated can lead to severe deformities. Types of leprosy There are several forms of leprosy that range from the mildest indeterminate form to the most severe lepromatous type. More severe forms arise because of less effective immune response to the infection. Most of those infected mount an appropriate immune response and never develop signs of leprosy. Depending on clinical features, leprosy is classified as: Indeterminate leprosy (IL) Tuberculoid leprosy (TT) Borderline tuberculoid leprosy (BT) Borderline borderline leprosy (BB) Borderline lepromatous leprosy (BL) Lepromatous leprosy (LL) Patients with indeterminate leprosy, a very early form of leprosy, may either be cured or progress to one of the other forms of leprosy depending on their immune status. Within each type of leprosy, a patient may remain in that stage, improve to a less debilitating form or worsen to a more debilitating form depending on their immune state. Lepromatous leprosy is the only form that never reverts to a less severe form.
