Z Contents of this page: Alternative names Hansen's disease Definition Return to top 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. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top 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. 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 nodules All forms of the disease eventually cause peripheral neurological damage (nerve damage in the extremities) manifested by sensory loss in the skin and muscle weakness . People with long-term leprosy may lose the use of their hands or feet due to repeated injury resulting from lack of sensation. Leprosy is common in many countries in the world, and in temperate, tropical, and subtropical climates. Approximately 100 cases per year are diagnosed in the U.S. Most cases are limited to the South, California, Hawaii, and U.S. island possessions.

    Extractions: Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease which attacks the skin, peripheral nerves and mucous membranes (eyes, respiratory tract). Leprosy is also known as Hansen's disease because the bacillus which causes it was discovered by G.A. Hansen in 1873. It is most common in warm, wet areas in the tropics and subtropics. As of 1940, a treatment using dapsone is currently being used to supress leprosy. Seldom is leprosy completely removed from the body; it can only be halted using a multi-drug treatment. Of the approximately two million cases (and half a million more each year), only one million are being treated in this way. In addition, patients are taught to take care of themselves using a kind of visual check if they have significant nerve damage. Without the sensations of pain to identify cuts and bruises, patients must watch themselves constantly or be subject to dangerous infection. Leprosy is characterized by multiple lesions accompanied by sensory loss in the affected areas. Usually, sensory loss begins in the extremities (toes, fingertips). In many advanced cases, gangrene sets in, causing parts of the body to "die" (necrosis) and become deformed. Leprosy in all ages has been considered one of the more despicable diseases, and victims have been despised throughout history and kept in separate places (leper colonies, sanitariums). Even today, most people with leprosy are shunned by their neighbors and are held at arms length.

Tremendous progress has been made in leprosy control since multi-drug therapy was adopted as standard treatment. Since 1985, over 11 million people have been cured of the disease and a number of countries have managed to eliminate it altogether. However, despite this dramatic success, the number of newly detected cases of leprosy is still worryingly high. In February 2002 the International Leprosy Association (ILA) organised a Technical Forum with 16 experts in leprosy from 11 countries to review the future of leprosy control.

    Extractions: Languages Time, Inc. Time.com People Fortune EW Koizumi's decision has come as a surprise TOKYO, Japan Japan's prime minister has announced his government will not appeal a court ruling ordering compensation for banishing former leprosy patients from society under a draconian law. The unexpected announcement brought cheers from former patients, some weeping with joy. The government of Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi also expressed its regrets for suffering caused by a 1953 law that forced leprosy patients into colonies on small islands or remote mountains and broke apart families. Koizumi's decision on Wednesday which came after he met with plaintiffs in the compensation suit for longer than expected was a surprise. News reports throughout the day had said the government had all but decided to contest the May 11 verdict, with intense pressure reportedly on Koizumi, who gained power last month after promising widespread reforms, to appeal. "From tomorrow I'll be able to stick my chest out with pride and live as a human being again," said Yuji Kodama, 79, a leader of the 127 plaintiffs, all former residents in the remote leper colonies.

    Extractions: by Eleanor E. Storrs Until the coming of AIDS, leprosy was the most feared of infectious diseases. Even today, it warps the lives of millions of people; mostly in South America, Africa, and the Orient. The Black Death that swept though Europe in the last half of the 14th century, killing one third of the people, was more violent in its ravages. But it came and went quickly, like a great earthquake, followed by a series of after shocks. Leprosy has tormented humans since the dawn of history; leaving lasting imprints on religion, literature, and art. It is a deep rooted part of the human psyche, with both mystical and physical meanings. Asians and Africans call it "the big disease" in many tongues because of the damage done to soul and body of those cursed with it. We know nothing certain about the origins of leprosy, except that it is old, very old. An account of a disease that could be leprosy appears in an Egyptian papyrus inscribed about 1552-1350 B.C. But this is an imaginative guess, made by modern scholars, that could be wrong. Indian writings dated at 600 B.C, describe a disease that most experts agree was leprosy. It does not appear in the records of ancient Greece until the army of Alexander the Great came back from India in 326 B.C. In Rome, the first mention coincides with the return of Pompey's troops from Asia Minor in 62 B.C. Thus Asia could be the cradle of infection.
