Explanation:

Leprosy treatment

Antibiotics can kill all the M. leprae bacteria in your body, but they can't reverse nerve damage or deformities caused by leprosy. This is why early treatment is important. You may need to take antibiotics for 6 months or longer, depending on the severity of your infection.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Leprosy is a chronic, progressive bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae. It primarily affects the nerves of the extremities, the skin, the lining of the nose, and the upper respiratory tract. Leprosy is also known as Hansen’s disease.

Leprosy produces skin ulcers, nerve damage, and muscle weakness. If it isn’t treated, it can cause severe

disfigurement and significant disability.

The main symptoms of leprosy include:

•muscle weaknes

•numbness in the hands, arms, feet, and legs.

•skin lesions.

The best way to prevent leprosy is to avoid long-term, close contact with an untreated

person who has the infection.

Prevention of contact with droplets from nasal and other secretions from patients with untreated M. leprae infection is currently the most effective way to avoid the disease. Treatment of patients with appropriate antibiotics stops the person

from spreading the disease.
