Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, is considered a chronic infectious disease. It is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae and primarily affects the skin, nerves, and mucous membranes. The symptoms can develop slowly over time, often taking years to manifest, which is characteristic of chronic conditions.
