<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 868769, member: 7638&quot;]Hi, just went to Up-to-Date, my favorite medical reference site. Leprosy is a contagious disease, but not very, due to the overwhelming majority of people not being genetically predisposed to catching it. Susceptibility is related to the non-HLA genome. It is probably spread by the respiratory route, like TB, to which it is related. </p><p>&nbsp; Fear, and lack of an understanding of the disease with its horribly disfiguring lesions, led to the unnecessary quarantine of people afflicted with leprosy. Modern treatment is simple and effective.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
