Named after physician Gerhard Armauer Hansen, leprosy is primarily a granulomatous disease of the peripheral nerves and mucosa of the upper respiratory tract; skin lesions are the primary external sign. Left untreated, leprosy can be progressive, causing permanent damage to the skin, nerves, limbs and eyes.

- Leprosy is a chronic contagious bacterial infection that attacks the body's nerves, mucous membranes and skin.

The disease is not easy to treat and requires a multi-drug regimen over a period of at least twelve months, and occasionally for life or a repeated treatment if the disease reoccurs.
