Step-by-step explanation:
Leprosy is an infectious disease caused by a bacillus, Mycobacterium leprae.
M. leprae multiplies slowly and the incubation period of the disease, on average, is 5 years.
Symptoms may occur within 1 year but can also take as long as 20 years or even more to occur.
The disease mainly affects the skin, the peripheral nerves, mucosa of the upper respiratory tract, and the eyes.
Leprosy is curable with multidrug therapy (MDT).
Leprosy is likely transmitted via droplets, from the nose and mouth, during close and frequent contact with untreated cases.
Untreated, leprosy can cause progressive and permanent damage to the skin, nerves, limbs, and eyes.
There were 208 619 new leprosy cases registered globally in 2018, according to official figures from 159 countries from the 6 WHO Regions.
Based on 184 212 cases at the end of 2018, prevalence rate corresponds to 0.2/10 000.
