Unfortunately, due to a strange concept some people have of the nature of God, combined with religious superstition, victims of H.D. still are cruelly stigmatised, for which reason, many suffer also from

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.

    Extractions: Hansen's Disease (Leprosy) Clinical Features This chronic infectious disease usually affects the skin and peripheral nerves but has a wide range of possible clinical manifestations. Patients are classified as having paucibacillary or multibacillary Hansen's disease. Paucibacillary Hansen's disease is milder and characterized by one or more hypopigmented skin macules. Multibacillary Hansen's disease is associated with symmetric skin lesions, nodules, plaques, thickened dermis, and frequent involvement of the nasal mucosa resulting in nasal congestion and epistaxis. Etiologic Agent A bacillus, Mycobacterium leprae , that multiplies very slowly and mainly affects the skin, nerves, and mucous membranes. The organism has never been grown in bacteriologic media or cell culture, but has been grown in mouse foot pads. Incidence In 2002, the number of new cases detected worldwide was 763,917. In 2002, 96 cases occurring in the United States were reported to CDC. In 2002, WHO listed Brazil, Madagascar, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Nepal as having 90% of cases.

    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.

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.
