Leprosy begin very slowly
The earlier Leprosy is diagnosed, the earlier the cure.
When a patient has taken regular treatment for 3-6 months most of the germs in his skin, nose, mouth and quickly killed by the drug and he becomes non-infectious.
It can only spread from a person with untreated disease to another person who has not yet got it.
80-90% of people can not get the disease, even if exposed because majority are able to kill the germs that enter their body.
Not all cases of Leprosy are infectious.
Children are more easily infected than adults.
Deformity and disability are secondary effects of loss of feeling which occurs in Leprosy. They can be prevented.
