Hansens Disease (Leprosy)
First Hansen’s I have seen after coming here. The treatment was hindered by the non availability of Dapsone and clofazamine. With the emergence of latest bactericidal drugs it is not much of a problem any more.

I am so glad you have mentioned that leprosy need not really be a health problem. The disease is curable and all the terrible deformities are preventable if leprosy is diagnosed and treated early, before there is nerve damage. In fact, after only a few days of treatment with MDT, leprosy patients can be rendered non-infectious and the more serious "lepromatous" type of leprosy can be cured in 2 years. The less serious types, like "tubuculoid", can be cured in as little as 6 months. More information at :- http://www.webspawner.com/users/leprosy
That must be pretty painful. This is a really great blog post. I bookmarked it for my usage. Thanks for the information. Keep up the great work.
Looks like a case of tuberculoid leprosy. I have seen a few cases of lepromatous leprosy here but not any case of tuberculoid leprosy.
