RESUMEN
Si bien es cierto que la lepra es la menos contagiosa de las enfermedades transmisibles, no deja de ser una enfermedad infecto-contagiosa y como tal debe manejarse. Se debe subrayar que el daño del nervio periférico se presenta en todos los individuos infectados con el Mycobacterium leprae y que en términos cuantitativos se ha reportado que más del 60% de los casos hay daño del nervio periférico al momento del diagnóstico
ABSTRACT
Although leprosy is the least contagious of the communicable diseases, it is nevertheless an infectious disease and must be managed as such. It should be stressed that peripheral nerve damage is present in all individuals infected with Mycobacterium leprae and that in quantitative terms it has been reported that more than 60% of cases have peripheral nerve damage at the time of diagnosis.
