This disease develops slowly about 6 months to 40 years which results in skin lesions and deformities, and it mostly affects the cooler places on the body parts like eyes, nose, earlobes, hands, feet, and testicles.The skin lesions and deformities can be hard to disfigure and are the reason which can be historically people to be considered infected individuals. The primary source of infection is human-to-human transmission, and three other species can also carry but rarely transfer M. leprae bacteria to humans: species like chimpanzees, mangabey monkeys, and nine-banded armadillos. This leprosy disease is termed as chronic granulomatous disease which is like same as tuberculosis, because granulomatous disease produces inflammatory nodules called granulomas in the areas of skin and peripheral nerves over the period of time Lepro...
