Leprosy Information

1. The agents of leprosy Leprosy is the oldest known infectious disease. The name of leprosy comes from the Greek and means scaly, rough. The Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease that is caused by bacteria. The exact pathogen called mycobacterium is a leprosy and the related tuberkelbacillus, acid-resistant rods. He was discovered by the Norwegian professor A. Hansen in 1873.

2. How is leprosy?

There are three main types of leprosy. The L-, T-and B-leprosy. Lepromatoese leprosy (L-leprosy): The skin is fuzzy, reddish spots, and the disease leads to the loss of eyebrows. In the course leads to the thickening of the underlying superficial nerves and a permanent bone resorption leads to mutilation. Tuberkuloide leprosy (T-leprosy): Early thickening of the superficial nerves show an underlying illness at the T-leprosy to. There will be individual, sharply limited herds on the skin to hair loss and lack perspiration secrete. Borderline leprosy (B-leprosy): It comes to similar consequences as in the T-leprosy, only that the skin with blurred edges and the middle with a low center of identification. The course of the disease begins with sudden chills and severe ill feeling, coupled with head, limb and calf pain. In some cases it comes to jaundice, but almost always for meningitis. The kidneys are attacked and badly destroyed. There is fever, which is 2 weeks, the jaundice sounds after about 3 weeks. On the skin form is a spoted herd in which the inner flesh and bones begin to rot. There are knots, tubers and swelling, especially in the facial area. Since the nerves of the disease are, there will be sensory disturbances, and by tissue malnutrition arise paralysis and mutilations. The incubation period is usually 2-7 years.

3. Leprosy is curable?

The cure of leprosy was until the beginning of the 20th Century completely excluded. With great cleanliness was the death as long as possible delayed, but ended up there any guarantees leprosy deadly disease. Today, leprosy through chemotherapy successfully treated, it can predict, however, damage such as paralysis or mutilation would not be undone.

4. The risk of infection with leprosy

In general, we know not, as in the leprosy infection runs, but there are some theories about. They say the transfer is done by droplet infection, or dirt, which by small animals, such as mice, rats and some insects is triggered. It rarely happens that a man the other ansteckt by him annie him or otherwise infected. The risk of infection is far lower than we have until recently assumed. Only by a long, direct contact with an infectious lepers there mostly to infection. Is it only the hand or go to each other, there is little likelihood of contagion. For the treatment of leprosy serve sulfones Thiosemizarbazone and isoniazid. The leprosy is spread by isolating the sick and better hygienic conditions restricted.

5. Immunity in leprosy?

Whether one after successfully weathering this difficult illness on the other hand, is immune, or at any time can be contagious, is an outstanding issue. Until recently, the medicine is still of the opinion, each case must leprosy fatal. So did no one think about the immunity. Today it is preparing a vaccine for the disease to explore, but this target is still far from being achieved, because the bacillus has not yet been cultivated.

6. Additions to the history of leprosy:

Leprosy is not free ‘The oldest infectious disease in the world” called: There is evidence that the leprosy before 4000 years in ancient Egypt occurred, since one of mummies been found scars that are clearly of leprosy had been caused. It was leprosy already 600 years before Christ under the name Krushta known. It was even in the time in an Indian medical treatise mentioned. The stories of leprosy in the Old Testament relate largely to the leprosy. The leprosy spread all over the world, but first in the Far East. Through the sea of the Phoenicians, it was then introduced into the Mediterranean basin. From there, they brought Roman legions to Europe. One historian reported that there was no village and no city in which there is no Leprosarium. At the same time the spread of leprosy Egypt starting all over Africa. From there, it was then brought to the Americas, as the African slaves largely because of bad conditions were infected crossing. Scientifically recognized leprosy was only 1847, by Danielsen, the discovery of the leprosy bacteria by A. Hansen, with its large preliminary investigations made. The lepers and their treatment in Europe during the Middle Ages leprosy was a great danger for all people in the Middle Ages. Whole towns and villages were wiped out by it, millions of lepers moved through the country, from certain death in rags and misery doomed. Therefore, the lepers were banished outside of the cities included in caves or in so-called leprosy confined towers. The leprosy people were merciless from the human society, they were often disinherit or simply no longer exist or declared dead. But because the patients also had some life, they had to beg in the cities or waste of life use. When begging the patients had special clothes leprosy and healthy people from afar to warn of their coming. This was done by rattles and leprosy, which they had to use. Anyone heard this rattling, so he immediately had to escape, so as not to become infected. Although everything in the power of people stood against leprosy has been done (4000 years), she could still not be eradicated. The number of sufferers is estimated today at approximately 11 million.
