Communicable Diseases Leprosy Fact Sheet Achievements ... Related Links Leprosy The Treatment Leprosy  : Treatment Multidrug therapy (MDT) is the cornerstone of the leprosy elimination strategy as it cures patients, reduces the reservoir of infection and thereby interrupts its transmission. MDT also prevents disabilities through early cure. For purposes of treatment, leprosy is divided into two types : a) Pauci -bacillary(PB) leprosy : 1-5 skin lesions – Regimen of two drugs – Rifampicin and Dapsone for 6 months; b) Rifampicin Clofazimine and Dapsone for 12 months; The drugs are provided in different blister packs for PB and MB leprosy and for Adults and Children in each type. This has the advantage that the compliance can be easily monitored. Additionally, since the entire global supply is made through WHO , the MDT blisters are not available in the open market, hence there is no scope for misuse. WHO has been able to provide MDT drugs free of charge to all endemic countries since From 1995-2000, the free supply was sponsored by The Nippon Foundation of Japan and from 2000 to date by the

Subscribe now >> Leprosy What is leprosy? Leprosy is a bacterial disease of the skin and nervous system caused by Mycobacterium leprae . The two main types of leprosy are called lepromatous and tuberculoid . Tuberculoid leprosy is not related to tuberculosis. Who gets leprosy? 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?

Leprosy Hot topics - Leprosy More Hot topics A chronic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae, leprosy has afflicted human beings since ancient times. The earliest recorded instance of the disease was in 600BC and there is historical evidence that it was familiar to ancient civilisations in China, Egypt and India. Contrary to the belief in some western societies that leprosy belongs to the past, it still affects hundreds of thousands of people around the world, the highest incidence being in Asia, Latin America and Africa where approximately 300,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. A powerful symbol of the isolation forced upon leprosy patients is the leper colony, an institution frequently located on islands or in other remote areas in an effort to quarantine the disease. The colourful history of one Queensland leper colony, that of Peel Island, has been given a new perspective by Dr. Jon Prangall and Ruth Gabriel in their fascinating presentation
