ABSTRACT
Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease of man which, depending on the type of the disease present, affects primarily the peripheral nerves, skin, mucous membranes, eyes, testes, and bone. There are two polar types, viz, lepromatous leprosy, a generalized process, and tuberculoid leprosy, a localized disease. A third type, dimorphous (borderline) leprosy, encompasses features of both polar types, and a fourth type, indeterminate leprosy, is an early, mild, undifferentiated form. Leprosy is often referred to as Hansen's disease
