Leprosy affects multiple systems and causes morbidity. However, with attainment of global elimination, and prevalence being 0.89/10000 at national level in Nepal; it is seldom considered a diagnosis when it doesn't manifest telltale signs. Leprosy can masquerade various dermatological, orthopedic or neurological problems thus delaying the diagnosis.
