Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease (HD), is a long-term infection by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae or Mycobacterium lepromatosis.[4][8] Infection can lead to damage of the nerves, respiratory tract, skin, and eyes.[4] This nerve damage may result in a lack of ability to feel pain, which can lead to the loss of parts of a person's extremities from repeated injuries or infection through unnoticed wounds.[3] An infected person may also experience muscle weakness and poor eyesight.[3] Leprosy symptoms may begin within one year, but, for some people, symptoms may take 20 years or more to occur.[4]

What is leprosy? A brief overview of Hansen's disease and impact in Florida.
Hansen’s disease, commonly known as leprosy, is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae and rarely by M. lepromatosis.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Florida has seen an increase in leprosy cases that lack traditional risk factors. Though about 95% of people have natural immunity to leprosy, the gradual increase in cases has been cause for concern. The National Hansen’s Disease Program reported 159 new cases in the United States in 2020, with Florida being one of the top reporting states accounting for 69% of the total new cases.

Hansen’s Disease | Dr. Chesta Agrawal | Dermatology PrepClinic
In this video, Dr. Chesta Agrawal explains the Hansen's Disease. She explains that how to examine the small muscles of the upper as well as the lower limbs to test for the sensations in the limbs. This can be done by checking the sensation in Ulnar Nerve and Median Nerve. The methods to check the sensation in both nerves are mentioned below:
1. Ulnar Nerve:
- wasting of thenar muscles and hypothenar muscles
- card test for palmer interossei
- dorsal interossei
- lumbricals of little and ring finger
- froment's book test
2. Median Nerve:
- wasting of thenar muscles
- pen test
- opponens pollisis brevis
- flex at metacarpophalengeal joint
- oshner's clasping finger test

Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease (HD), is a long-term infection by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae or Mycobacterium lepromatosis.[4][8] Infection can lead to damage of the nerves, respiratory tract, skin, and eyes.[4] This nerve damage may result in a lack of ability to feel pain, which can lead to the loss of parts of a person's extremities from repeated injuries or infection through unnoticed wounds.[3] An infected person may also experience muscle weakness and poor eyesight.[3] Leprosy symptoms may begin within one year, but, for some people, symptoms may take 20 years or more to occur.[4]
Leprosy is spread between people, although extensive contact is necessary.[3][9] Leprosy has a low pathogenicity, and 95% of people who contract M. leprae do not develop the disease.[10] Spread is thought to occur through a cough or contact with fluid from the nose of a person infected by leprosy.[9][10] Genetic factors and immune function play a role in how easily a person catches the disease.[10][11] Leprosy does not spread during pregnancy to the unborn child or through sexual contact.[9] Leprosy occurs more commonly among people living in poverty.[3] There are two main types of the disease – paucibacillary and multibacillary, which differ in the number of bacteria present.[3] A person with paucibacillary disease has five or fewer poorly-pigmented, numb skin patches, while a person with multibacillary disease has more than five skin patches.[3] The diagnosis is confirmed by finding acid-fast bacilli in a biopsy of the skin.[3]
Leprosy is curable with multidrug therapy.[4] Treatment of paucibacillary leprosy is with the medications dapsone, rifampicin, and clofazimine for six months.[10] Treatment for multibacillary leprosy uses the same medications for 12 months.[10] A number of other antibiotics may also be used.[3] These treatments are provided free of charge by the World Health Organization.[4]
Leprosy is not highly contagious.[12] People with leprosy can live with their families and go to school and work.[13] In 2018, there were 209,000 leprosy cases globally, down from 5.2 million in the 1980s.[7][14][15] The number of new cases in 2016 was 216,000.[4] Most new cases occur in 14 countries, with India accounting for more than half.[3][4] In the 20 years from 1994 to 2014, 16 million people worldwide were cured of leprosy.[4] About 200 cases per year are reported in the United States.[16] Separating people affected by leprosy by placing them in leper colonies still occurs in some areas of India,[17] China,[18] areas in the African continent,[12] and Thailand.[19]
Leprosy has affected humanity for thousands of years.[3] The disease takes its name from the Greek word λέπρᾱ (léprā), from λεπῐ́ς (lepís; 'scale'), while the term "Hansen's disease" is named after the Norwegian physician Gerhard Armauer Hansen.[3] Leprosy has historically been associated with social stigma, which continues to be a barrier to self-reporting and early treatment.[4] Some consider the word leper offensive, preferring the phrase "person affected with leprosy".[20] Leprosy is classified as a neglected tropical disease.[21] World Leprosy Day was started in 1954 to draw awareness to those affected by leprosy.[22]

Hansen’s disease, commonly known as leprosy, is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae and rarely by M. lepromatosis.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Florida has seen an increase in leprosy cases that lack traditional risk factors. Though about 95% of people have natural immunity to leprosy, the gradual increase in cases has been cause for concern. The National Hansen’s Disease Program reported 159 new cases in the United States in 2020, with Florida being one of the top reporting states accounting for 69% of the total new cases.

To learn more about the disease, visit our website to read the article, "Leprosy in Florida: medical experts monitoring unusual, new cases of Hansen’s disease": https://epi.ufl.edu/2023/10/16/leprosy-in-florida-medical-experts-monitoring-unusual-new-cases-of-hansens-disease/.
Fun fact: Did you know that human populations that had never been exposed to the western hemisphere had been documented to have leprosy? Some researchers theorize that humans are the source that infected armadillo populations when humans first made contact with the animal.

https://wn.com/What_Is_Leprosy_A_Brief_Overview_Of_Hansen's_Disease_And_Impact_In_Florida.
Hansen’s disease, commonly known as leprosy, is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae and rarely by M. lepromatosis.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Florida has seen an increase in leprosy cases that lack traditional risk factors. Though about 95% of people have natural immunity to leprosy, the gradual increase in cases has been cause for concern. The National Hansen’s Disease Program reported 159 new cases in the United States in 2020, with Florida being one of the top reporting states accounting for 69% of the total new cases.
Keep learning.

To learn more about the disease, visit our website to read the article, "Leprosy in Florida: medical experts monitoring unusual, new cases of Hansen’s disease": https://epi.ufl.edu/2023/10/16/leprosy-in-florida-medical-experts-monitoring-unusual-new-cases-of-hansens-disease/.
Fun fact: Did you know that human populations that had never been exposed to the western hemisphere had been documented to have leprosy? Some researchers theorize that humans are the source that infected armadillo populations when humans first made contact with the animal.

The first noticeable sign of leprosy is often the development of pale or pink coloured patches of skin, that may be insensitive to temperature or pain.
Formication - is the feeling of insects crawling across or underneath your skin.
Erythema of skin lesions present, Reddish skin patches with sensory loss.
Inflammation due to reactions leading to deformity and paralysis.
Edema.
Ulceration of lesions on the skin.
An infected person may also experience muscle weakness and poor eyesight.
Infection can lead to damage of the nerves, respiratory tract, skin, and eyes. This nerve damage may result in a lack of ability to feel pain.
which can lead to the loss of parts of a person's extremities, from repeated injuries or infection through unnoticed wounds.
Secondary infections, (additional bacterial or viral infections). can result in tissue loss, causing fingers and toes to become shortened and deformed, as cartilage is absorbed into the body.
Leprosy has historically been associated with social stigma.
Since ancient times leprosy instilled the practice of fear and avoidance in many societies because of the associated physical disfigurement and lack of understanding behind its cause.
But now, Leprosy is curable disease.
Leprosy is caused by Bacteria Mycobacterium leprae or Mycobacterium lepromatosis.
Leprosy transmission is not completely understood, but it is believed to spread through respiratory means.
Untreated individuals with lepromatous infections usually contain many bacilli.
The general mode of dissemination, once within the body, starts at the upper respiratory tract. Reports indicate that host infection can potentially occur through broken skin as well.
Leprosy symptoms may begin within one year, but, for some people, symptoms may take 20 years or more to occur.
Leprosy is spread between people, although extensive contact is necessary. Leprosy has a low pathogenicity, and 95% of people who contract M. leprae do not develop the disease.
Genetic factors and immune function play a role in how easily a person catches the disease. Leprosy does not spread during pregnancy to the unborn child or through sexual contact.
M. leprae's affinity for peripheral nerve cells, preferentially attacking Schwann cells , causes nerve demyelination and loss of axonal conductance, which presents clinically as numbness.
Older members of society are more prone to risk in the acquisition of leprosy. Some studies show a bimodal relationship with age. Elevated risk showed between 5 to 15 and continued risk after 30.
Following the suppression of the immune system, there is an increased chance of acquiring this infection.
Diagnosis.
There are two main types of the disease – paucibacillary and multibacillary.
which differ in the number of bacteria present.
A person with paucibacillary disease has five or fewer poorly-pigmented, numb skin patches.
while a person with multibacillary disease has more than five skin patches.
The diagnosis is confirmed by finding acid-fast bacilli in a biopsy of the skin.
Treatment:
Leprosy is curable with multidrug therapy. Treatment of paucibacillary leprosy is with the medications dapsone, rifampicin, and clofazimine for six months. Treatment for multibacillary leprosy uses the same medications for 12 months.

In this video, Dr. Chesta Agrawal explains the Hansen's Disease. She explains that how to examine the small muscles of the upper as well as the lower limbs to test for the sensations in the limbs. This can be done by checking the sensation in Ulnar Nerve and Median Nerve. The methods to check the sensation in both nerves are mentioned below:
1. Ulnar Nerve:
- wasting of thenar muscles and hypothenar muscles
- card test for palmer interossei
- dorsal interossei
- lumbricals of little and ring finger
- froment's book test
2. Median Nerve:
- wasting of thenar muscles
- pen test
- opponens pollisis brevis
- flex at metacarpophalengeal joint
- oshner's clasping finger test
