Hansen"s disease(HD), obsolete named Leprosy, is a disease that has been discriminated severely all over the world. HD is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae, but it had been misunderstood as a hereditary disease or highly infectious disease to be feared and terrified for a long time. The social stigma connected with the advanced form of HD lingers in many countries and regions. Effective treatments for HD were found out in the 1930s with the introduction of dapsone and its derivatives. Although the forced quarantine or segregation of patients is unnecessary, some HD colonies or sanatoria still remain around the world. There are some sanatoria in Japan and Taiwan, too. |
