Causes and treatment of indeterminate leprosy - A study

Leprosy is one of the oldest human bacterial disease recognized by a Norwegian scientist Armauer Hansen working in Bergen in 1873. Leprosy is still one of the infectious diseases and major health problem of developing countries. Leprosy is not a single entity but rather a spectral disease with varied clinico-pathological presentations. It is generally agreed that multibacillary cases (lapromatous and borderline lepromatous cases) are the most infectious for the community. This study has been taken to show the symptoms of leprosy and detection and management of indeterminate cases of leprosy.
