Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium leproe. Leprosy once considered a taboo is still misdiagnosed and underdiagnosed. In many cases leprosy is treated as common disorders like psoriasis, pyoderma, angioedema, pre vitiligo. Leprosy can present in many diverse ways which can be confused with many treatable and non treatable, infectious and non infectious forms. Leprosy is considered on the verge of elimination. But Leprosy cases are being newly diagnosed day by day.
