Yes, Leprosy and Hansen's disease are the same. However, the leprosy of the Bible evidently is NOT the same as present-day leprosy.
in medieval towns in europe when someone would get leprosy they would be sent to an isalnd where people with leprosy live.
People who are in immediate contact with the leprosy patient should be tested for leprosy.
Eric Silla has written: 'People are not the same' -- subject(s): Leprosy, History
Much of what was called leprosy in the Old Testament most likely was not the same disease.
Yes
The same as we do in America....IN HOUSES!
Some people are genetically resistant to leprosy, probably and no matter what, they do not get leprosy. Other with tuberculous type of leprosy have high resistance to leprosy. Those with lepromatous type of leprosy have least resistance to leprosy germs. The intermediate leprosy type have intermediate resistance to leprosy germs. Body reacts to leprosy by trying to kill the leprosy causing germs. There is an inflammatory response.
Yes there is hope for people to be treated with leprosy today, gone are the old days when lepers were treated like outcasts. It is with medicine, a powerful antibiotic ., in repeated doses for some time.
