Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacteria called Mycobacterium leprae. It mainly affects the skin and nerves, leading to skin wounds, nerve damage, and potential deformities if left untreated. Leprosy is not highly contagious and is spread through prolonged close contact with untreated individuals. Symptoms may include skin wounds, numbness or loss of sensation in affected areas, muscle weakness, and eye damage. Early diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics can effectively cure leprosy and prevent complications.
