    leprosy is a bacterial disease of the skin and nervous system caused by The two main types of leprosy are called lepromatous and tuberculoid.  
    http://dhfs.wisconsin.gov/communicable/FactSheets/LEPROSY.HTM
    
    Extractions: Leprosy is usually found in South Asia, Southeast Asia, tropical Africa and some areas of Latin America. Although it is occasionally found in the southern part of the United States, most persons diagnosed with leprosy in this country are immigrants or refugees who were infected in their native countries. What are the symptoms of leprosy? In lepromatous leprosy, the skin lesions are many and widespread. Infection in the nose may cause crusting, bleeding and blockage; infection in the eye may cause inflammation of the iris and cornea. In tuberculoid leprosy, the skin lesions are fewer and have little or no feeling. There may also be numbness in the hands, feet or other parts of the body. Lepromatous leprosy is much more contagious than tuberculoid leprosy. How soon after exposure do symptoms appear?

    Extractions: Includes School exclusion table Page content: Victorian statutory requirement Infectious agent Identification Incubation period ... Additional sources of information Leprosy (Group B disease) must be notified in writing within five days of diagnosis. School exclusion: exclude until approval to return has been given by the Secretary. Contacts are not excluded. Mycobacterium leprae is the causative agent. Clinical features Leprosy is a slowly progressive bacterial infection involving the cooler body tissues, skin, superficial nerves, nose, pharynx, larynx, eyes and testicles. Skin lesions may occur as pale, anaesthetic macules, papules or erythematous infiltrated nodules. Neurological disturbances are manifested by nerve infiltration and thickening with anaesthesia, neuritis, paraesthesia and trophic ulcers. The disease is divided clinically and by laboratory tests into two overlapping types: lepromatous and tuberculoid. The lepromatous type (multibacillary or non-immune form) is progressive with nodular skin lesions, slow symmetric nerve involvement, numerous acid-fast bacilli in skin lesions and a negative lepromin skin test. The tuberculoid type (paucibacillary or immune form) is benign and non-progressive with localised skin lesions, asymmetric nerve involvement, few bacilli present in the lesions and a positive lepromin skin test.

The day after the 60 Minutes interview, during the May 7 edition of Lou Dobbs Tonight , Dobbs and Romans again defended the claims, with Romans attributing them to the late "Dr. Madeleine Cosman" (who did not have a medical degree but, rather, a Ph.D. in English and comparative literature ). In fact, according to the article that "in 40 years ... 900 people were afflicted." Cosman appears to have derived her false claim by misinterpreting a February 18, 2003, New York Times article At the end of the 60 Minutes profile, Stahl noted that "[w]hile we were talking to Dobbs, unbeknownst to us, he was talking to CBS News and has now joined The Early Show as a weekly commentator."

    http://www3.baylor.edu/~Charles_Kemp/leprosy.htm
    
    Extractions: Back to Infectious Diseases or Refugees Leprosy (Hansen's Disease) Primary Distribution : Tropical and sub-tropical Africa, Asia, Pacific Islands, South America, Central America, and Mexico. Countries reporting the most cases in 1997 were Bangladesh, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Nigeria (CDC, 1998). Agent and Vector : The acid-fast rod Mycobacterium leprae is transmitted probably via the respiratory route through prolonged exposure in childhood. Incubation: Usually 2-5 years; and up to 20 years. Clinical Findings and Treatment Signs and Symptoms : There are two basic types of leprosy: lepromatous leprosy (LL) and tuberculoid leprosy (TL). Either of these may be classified as borderline (borderline lepromatous or BL and borderline tuberculoid or BT). Patients who fall between the two basic types may be classified as borderline borderline (BB); and patients with vaguely defined (often early) lesions may be classified as indeterminate (I). Most initial infections involve few symptoms and spontaneous recovery is common, with a minority of patients developing clinical disease. Initial lesions tend to be vaguely defined hypopigmented or erythematous macules, i.e., indeterminate. Lepromatous leprosy Tuberculoid leprosy is less malignant than LL and there is no or less deficiency in cell mediated immunity. Skin lesions are anesthetic and include well-demarcated macules and plaques that range from less than one cm to large enough to cover most of a body area. TL lesions may heal (centrally) spontaneously, leaving variously pigmented areas. Asymmetrical peripheral nerve involvement is common and leads to gradual loss of sensation, especially in the hands, feet, and face. Cutaneous nerves may be enlarged and/or tender.

    The central role of the contract in global leprosy research has paralleled the involvement of Dr. Brennan in that research. Since the early 1980s,  
    http://www.cvmbs.colostate.edu/mip/leprosy/globalleprosy3.html
    
    Extractions: In 1978, NIAID awarded two contracts for the purpose of fractionating Mycobacterium leprae -infected armadillo organs to derive sizable quantities of M. leprae for use by the leprosy research community. Dr. Brennan's program at National Jewish Hospital was awarded one of the two contracts. Upon Dr. Brennan's transfer to Colorado State University in 1980, the work moved there. Thus, we have had this contract since 1979 through five subsequent recompetitions. Since the closing of the WHO/IMMLEP M. leprae Bank in 1990, this Contract is now the sole source of appreciable quantities of M. leprae and its various products. Prior to 1995, two contracts existed, "Isolation, Purification and Characterization of Antigens from Purified Mycobacterium leprae Obtained from Armadillo Tissue" at CSU and "Establishment and Maintenance of an Armadillo Colony Infected with M. leprae

    Extractions: The Foundation (formerly the Leprosy Trust Board) is a national, charitable organisation working within New Zealand and the South Pacific region. The Foundation is nondenominational and registered under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957. The purpose of the Foundation is the elimination of leprosy as a public health risk in the Pacific and the continuing care of patients with disability or social disadvantage due to past active leprosy. With the focus on control and surveillance, specifically to achieve a predetermined prevalence rate of less than one case per 10,000 population, the leprosy disabled and their families are being forgotten by governments. In addition to those countries in which we fund leprosy control programmes, the Foundation funds rehabilitation and welfare work throughout the Pacific, including New Zealand.
