Following the method we have developed over the past year, we began with a look at the actual verses which describe the story, with an eye toward developing our questions about the story. This event is described in Bamidbar (Numbers), Chapter 12. It would help to have a Chumash in front of you for this e-mail. Bamidbar 12:1 VaTidaber Miriam veAharon beMoshe - And Miriam and Aharon spoke regarding Moshe This passage is problematic, from a grammatical perspective as well as a plot perspective. First, the grammar: "VaTidaber" means "And she spoke." Presumably, this "she" is Miriam. However, Aharon is listed as well! Here are the possible readings: 1. If Miriam and Aharon spoke, it should have said "VaYidabru," "And they spoke." 2. If only Miriam spoke, it should have said "VaTidaber Miriam," "And Miriam spoke," without mentioning Aharon! 3. If Miriam spoke to Aharon, it should have said "VaTidaber Miriam LeAharon," "And Miriam spoke to Aharon."

Prevention 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.

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.

News Top headlines Latest picture stories Latest video reports ... Corrections Ananova: Britain's earliest leprosy victim may have been found A child who died 3,500 years ago may be Britain's earliest known victim of leprosy. If initial tests are confirmed they will show the disease may have arrived in Britain 1,500 years earlier than first thought. The evidence was taken from a skull unearthed near Dunbar in Scotland. Julie Roberts, a biological anthropologist with Glasgow University's archaeological research division, said: "Although the diagnosis of leprosy cannot be confirmed until DNA tests are complete, the indications that this is leprosy are quite promising. "Most experts agree that the westward spread of the disease came from the Mediterranean where it is believed to have been introduced by the army of Alexander the Great on returning from India. "This contagious disease is then thought to have come to Britain with the expansion of the Roman Empire. "The child is known to have died between 1600 and 2000BC. This would predate the previously accepted arrival of leprosy in Britain by up to 1,500 years. "If this is the case, then leprosy took some other, unknown, route through Europe's early societies."

Time.com People Fortune EW Japan government not to seek leprosy appeal 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.

Social Hygiene Handbook - 2nd Edition LEPROSY (HANSEN'S DISEASE) CHAPTER 17 Hansen's disease is an ancient stigmatizing disease of mainly the skin, peripheral nerves, eyes and nose. It is a notorious cause of blindness, nasal, hand and feet deformities with neurotrophic ulceration and neurotrophic ankle and feet joint changes. It is widespread in the world especially in Tropical Africa, South and Central America, India and other parts of Asia. In recent years it has declined worldwide with introduction of multiple drug chemotherapy, intensified treatment and improved living conditions. In 1986, 5.4 million patients were registered worldwide and this fell to 2.4 million by 1994. The leprosy burden drops by 68% in the global prevalence since 1985. Leprosy elimination in the Western Pacific region is feasible with following statistics in 1994: 39,911 registered cases, with a prevalence rate of 0.25/10,000, down from a prevalence rate of 1.7/10,000 in 1985 12,694 new cases with a detection rate of 0.08/10,000 over 95% Multi-drug therapy (MDT) coverage in 1994 (8.8% in 1986)

Home About ILEP News Publications and Documents ... Links Frequently asked questions about Leprosy WHAT IS LEPROSY? A chronic, infectious disease caused by a bacterium, Mycobacterium leprae. INFECTIOUS? Yes, but around 95% of people have immune systems able to cope with the bacteria. IS THERE A CURE FOR LEPROSY? Yes. Leprosy can now be cured completely through a combination of drugs (Multidrug therapy or MDT). Several MDT regimens were introduced in 1982, following research recommendations for the treatment of leprosy. WHERE IS LEPROSY FOUND GEOGRAPHICALLY? Leprosy was endemic in Western Europe during Medieval times, and was only eliminated from Scandinavia in the early twentieth century. The decline of leprosy in Europe before a successful drug treatment was available, is attributed to the improvement in living standards, better housing, clean water supplies, and improved nutrition and hygiene. Leprosy today is found mainly in developing countries, in tropical areas. DOES IT HAVE ANY OTHER NAMES?
