Leprosy Screening | India
Leprosy Screening
Leprosy is a chronic disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis. If left untreated, leprosy can be progressive, causing permanent damage to the skin, nerves, limbs and eyes. Infection results in tissue loss, so fingers and toes become shortened and deformed as the cartilage is absorbed into the body.
