    Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, is an infectious disease that mainly affects the skin and peripheral nerves. It is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium leprae. While leprosy can cause disfigurement if untreated, it is not highly contagious and the vast majority of people are naturally immune. Early treatment with multidrug therapy can cure leprosy and prevent disability.
