📍 Leprosy, also known as Hansen disease, is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis. It is likely transmitted through respiratory droplets from the nose or mouth during close contact with an affected individual.
📍 According to the type of cell-mediated immunity response, there are two major forms of leprosy - lepromatous leprosy, which is a result of Th2 cell, or low cell mediated immunity, and tuberculoid leprosy, which is a result of Th1 cell, or high cell mediated immunity.
📍 Diagnosis od leprosy can be done by identifying Mycobacterium leprae in a skin biopsy with microscopy or PCR. Treatment of leprosy is done with dapsone, rifampin and clofazimine for the lepromatous form, and dapsone and rifampin for the tuberculoid form.
