Illustration of Mycobacterium leprae, a gram-positive bacteria which is the cause of leprosy (Hansen's disease). The disease is spread in humans by droplets of nasal mucus and a person is infectious only during the first stages of leprosy. Nerve damage usually occurs in limbs and facial areas, which may lead to skin damage, blindness, and disfigurement. | |
