Brett Finlay, Ph.D. In the United States, a federal hospital for leprosy sufferers is being phased out and its last 69 residents are being encouraged to leave the facility. And the World Health Organization targeted the year 2000 for eliminating leprosy on a global basis. Leprosy, that age-old scourge of humankind, finally may be on the run. Here are facts about this infectious disease. What is leprosy? Leprosy, also called Hansen's disease, is a mildly infectious disease that attacks peripheral nerves. It is caused by a bacillus, Mycobacterium leprae . In very serious cases, the bacilli may be found in the lymph nodes, male testes, spleen, liver, and bone marrow. The infection can damage nerves in the face and body, leading to a loss of sensation and paralysis. Because sensation is lost, everyday activities are fraught with danger as wounds go unnoticed. Even stones in shoes and grit in the eyes may lead to serious harm when left unattended. Patients may lose fingers, feet, and eyesight. When did it start?

    Extractions: Hansen's Disease PATRICIA I. WATHEN, MD, San Antonio, TX ABSTRACT: Physicians in the United States may encounter Hansen's disease in immigrants and in patients from endemic areas such as Texas, Louisiana, Hawaii, and California. Exposure to infected armadillos may be one means of acquiring the disease. The Mycobacterium leprae bacillus has a predilection for nerves and skin in the cooler areas of the body. The limited tuberculoid form of the disease is characterized by one or a few hypoesthetic skin lesions and palpably enlarged nerves. The more extensive lepromatous form of the disease appears as multiple nodular skin lesions, sometimes with involvement of the nasal structures and eye. Current recommended regimens for treatment of Hansen's disease are based on combinations of dapsone, rifampin, and clofazimine. Recent advances in treatment have resulted in a significant decline in the worldwide prevalence of the disease. Hansen's disease is a major international health problem. Recent advances in treatment have significantly reduced the disease prevalence, but there are still an estimated 2.4 million cases worldwide.1 Although it is a rare disease in the United States, with 2,217 cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 1984 to 1993,2 primary care physicians in endemic areas or those who treat immigrants may encounter cases of Hansen's disease. Ninety percent of US cases involve patients who have lived in foreign countries where the disease is endemic, primarily Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Hansen's disease is also endemic in Texas, Hawaii, Louisiana, and California.3 Contact with armadillos has been identified as a possible mode of transmission of the disease to humans.

It is a chronic infectious disease named after Dr. Hansen, the physician who discovered its cause. The disease is caused by tiny bacteria that invade the body causing symptoms including nerve damage, lumps and/or ulcers on the skin, weakened muscles, and inward curling of fingers and toes. If untreated, there can be progressive, permanent damage to the skin, limbs, and eyes. There are an estimated 1.15 million cases of Hansen's worldwide, but only about 5% of the world's population are susceptible to the disease. It is primarily transmitted by direct, repetitive person-to-person contact over a prolonged period of time and is NOT hereditary.

    Extractions: Then what constitutes scientific misconduct? According to Dr. Clyde Watkins of Office of Research Integrity , the official government definition was fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism. We flunked his test. Of three words we used to characterize a major scientific crime , only one was on his list, and we used it out of order. Therefore, he dismissed our appeal for a hearing. Since then, the Ryan Commission has compounded the problem by redefining misconduct as misappropriation, interference, and misrepresentation. Now, ORI has six words they can Babelize to block the public from hearing the truth about misconduct in science.

    Extractions: and adjacent skin areas, tuberculoid granuloma 2. Lepromatous - host lacks resistance, all tissues affected, foam cell granuloma 3. Borderline - between tuberculoid and lepromatous PATHOLOGY The earliest clinically detectable lesions of leprosy involve the skin and show histologic association with sebaceous glands and hair follicles. From the onset, small cutaneous nerve fibers are involved. With bacillary multiplication, contiguous skin areas, including autonomic nerve fibers, dermal appendages, and blood vessels, are invaded. Lymphohematogenous dissemination of bacilli is probably an early phenomenon. As infection spreads along sensory nerves, motor fibers within parent nerve trunks are damaged. Leprosy bacilli are unable to penetrate directly into the nervous system proximal to the dorsal root ganglions; central nervous system infection does not occur.

    Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: 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.
