Leprosy, or Hansen’s disease, is a bacterial infection affecting the skin and nerves. It is treatable with early intervention.
Leprosy is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae, which spreads through prolonged close contact.
Early signs include discolored patches of skin, numbness, tingling, and painless ulcers.
While it is mildly contagious, early treatment can prevent transmission and progression.
Our dermatologists use skin biopsies and clinical evaluations to confirm leprosy diagnosis.
Multidrug therapy (MDT) is the standard treatment, combining antibiotics to effectively eliminate the bacteria.
