It primarily affects the skin, peripheral nerves, and mucous membranes, leading to a wide range of symptoms and manifestations.The disease has a long and complex history, with mentions dating back to ancient civilizations. Throughout history, leprosy was misunderstood, and people afflicted by it often faced severe social stigma and discrimination.
