Leprosy

Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, primarily affecting the skin and peripheral nerves. Early symptoms may include primary skin lesions such as macules, papules, and nodules, as well as sensory loss in the affected areas, muscle weakness, and ulcers. In severe cases, it can lead to facial disfigurement and limb deformities. Early diagnosis and treatment can completely cure the disease without leaving any sequelae.
