LEPROSY CONTROL WEEK

Leprosy Control Week is celebrated in the Philippines every year on the last week of February to promote public awareness of the disease, its prevention, and treatment.

WHAT IS LEPROSY?
- Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae. It primarily affects the skin, peripheral nerves, mucous membranes, and eyes. Leprosy is a slow-developing disease that can cause damage to the nerves, skin, and other organs if left untreated.

WAYS OF TRANSMISSION:
- Leprosy is transmitted through prolonged and close contact with an infected person who has untreated leprosy. It is not highly contagious and is not easily spread through casual contact. The exact mode of transmission is not fully understood, but it is believed to occur through respiratory droplets.

SYMPTOMS:
- Leprosy has a long incubation period, ranging from months to years, which means that symptoms may not appear until long after the initial infection. The symptoms can vary widely depending on the type and severity of the disease. Common symptoms include skin lesions, numbness or loss of sensation, muscle weakness, eye problems, and deformities.

PREVENTION AND TREATMENT:
- Leprosy is curable with multidrug therapy (MDT), a combination of antibiotics that effectively kills the bacteria and prevents further transmission. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications and disabilities associated with the disease.

Efforts to control leprosy focus on early detection, prompt treatment, and raising awareness to reduce stigma and discrimination associated with the disease. Various organizations and governments work together to provide free treatment, rehabilitation, and support services to individuals affected by leprosy.

It is important to note that leprosy is a treatable and curable disease, and with proper medical care, individuals can lead normal lives.
