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.

Leprosy 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). Indeterminate leprosy 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. Tuberculoid leprosy (TT) 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. Lepromatous leprosy (LL) 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 Borderline (dimorphous) leprosy 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

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.

Indeed, the man's body turned out to also bear DNA traces of infection with the leprosy bacteria.

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. Leprosy has two common forms, tuberculoid and lepromatous, and these have been further subdivided. Both forms produce lesions on the skin, but the lepromatous form is most severe, producing large disfiguring

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.

MUHC News News Centre Leprosy Susceptibility Genes Identified Leprosy Susceptibility Genes Identified Montreal, January 26, 2004 - The eradication of leprosy, one of the world’s oldest and most feared diseases, may be one step closer. An international research team lead by scientists from the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) discovered that small changes in certain genes, the Parkin 2 gene and its neighbor, PACRG, result in an increased susceptibility to leprosy. Parkin 2 has also been shown to cause certain forms of Parkinson’s Disease, a common neuro-degenerative disease in developed countries. These findings will be published in the February issue of the research journal Nature. The research was supported by the Canadian Genetic Diseases Network (CGDN), Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and granting institutions in France and the Netherlands. "Our results give an entirely novel view of the leprosy disease process," says MUHC molecular geneticist and James McGill Professor Dr. Erwin Schurr, one of the lead authors of the study that included scientists and physicians from Vietnam, Brazil, The Netherlands, France and Canada. "Our findings may hold the key to unravel why, despite effective drug treatment, leprosy persists in many parts of the world." "Leprosy has plagued humans for many centuries and it continues to be a concern in many countries," says co-investigator Dr. Laurent Abel, study co-author and Research Director at Institut National de la Sant© et de la Recherche M©dical (INSERM) Unit© 550 at Necker Medical School, Universit© Ren© Descartes.

Ogunbiyi AO, George AO, Daramola OO. Dermatology Division, Department of Medicine, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. BACKGROUND: Alteration in the location and number of palmar creases has been found in association with certain disorders. The extra transverse digital crease (ETDC) has been reported in sickle cell disease. This study was carried out to determine the importance of ETDC as a diagnostic tool for sickle cell disease amongst Nigerians. METHODS: Medical students and student nurses with available hemoglobin electrophoresis records were studied. Their palms were examined for the presence of ETDC. RESULTS: An ETDC was present in 80 of 178 (44.9%) cases with genotype AA, 26 of 68 (38.2%) cases with sickle cell trait (AS, 65; AC, 3), and 10 of 22 (45.4%) cases with sickle cell disease (SS). CONCLUSIONS: The results from our study show that the ETDC is not a diagnostic sign of sickle cell disease in Nigerians. Source: Int J Dermatol. 2003 Dec;42(12):936-7.
