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.
In Latin, leprosy is referred to as "lepra." This term is derived from the Greek word "lepra," which means "scaly" or "scab." Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae, primarily affecting the skin, nerves, and mucous membranes. Historically, it has been associated with significant stigma and social isolation.
Leprosy itself does not have a specific smell, but the skin lesions and infections associated with the disease can produce a foul odor due to bacterial activity and tissue decay. Additionally, untreated leprosy can lead to secondary infections, which may also contribute to unpleasant odors. Good hygiene and medical treatment can help mitigate these effects.
