 * * Disease Information **: Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease that mainly affects the skin, the peripheral nerves, mucosal surfaces of the upper respiratory tract, and the eyes. Leprosy is known to occur at all ages ranging from early infancy to very old age. The mechanism of transmission of leprosy is not known. Leprosy can lead to numbness and the eventual loss of feeling in the extremities, if left untreated. As a result, a person becomes more vulnerable to infection from injuries as these injuries can go unnoticed and may result in the loss of fingers or toes. Leprosy is a disease in developing countries that experiences 250,000 new cases of Leprosy each year. The bacteria causing the disease can incubate in the body anywhere between three years and a decade. Leprosy causes nerve injury by binding to Schwann cells, inducing demyelination in peripheral nerves and loss of conductance within the axons of nerve cells. Leprosy has recently been treated with a multidrug therapy, lasting between six months and a year depending on the classification of the bacteria strain.
