Mycobacterium leprae (also known as the leprosy bacillus or Hansen's bacillus) is one [a] of the two species of bacteria that cause Hansen's disease (leprosy), [1] a chronic but curable infectious disease that damages the peripheral nerves and targets the skin, eyes, nose, and muscles. [2]

2024年4月11日 · Hansen's disease is caused by slow-growing bacteria called Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis. The disease can affect the nerves, skin, eyes, and lining of the nose. In some cases, body parts may lose their sense of touch and pain, increasing the likelihood of injuries such as cuts and burn.

Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease (HD), is a long-term infection by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae or Mycobacterium lepromatosis. [4][7] Infection can lead to damage of the nerves, respiratory tract, skin, and eyes. [4] .

2025年1月24日 · Leprosy, also known as Hansen disease, is a chronic infectious disease caused mainly by a type of bacteria called Mycobacterium leprae. The disease affects the skin, the peripheral nerves, the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract and the eyes.

2023年9月15日 · Leprosy is also referred to as Hansen disease. It is a chronic granulomatous infection generally caused by Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis, both of which primarily affects the skin and peripheral nerves. To avoid the high morbidity and mortality associated with this condition, it must be promptly diagnosed and treated.

2025年1月21日 · Leprosy is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, an acid-fast, rod-shaped bacillus. The disease mainly affects the skin, the peripheral nerves, mucosa of the upper respiratory tract, and the eyes. Leprosy is curable and treatment in the early stages can prevent disability.

2024年11月30日 · Mycobacterium leprae is the bacterium responsible for causing Hansen’s disease, also known as leprosy. This chronic infectious disease primarily affects the peripheral nerves, skin, eyes, and muscles. Discovered by Norwegian physician Gerhard Armauer Hansen in 1873, M. leprae was the first bacterium identified as the cause of a human disease.

Leprosy is a neglected infectious disease caused by acid-fast bacillus Mycobacterium leprae. It primarily affects the skin and then progresses to a secondary stage, causing peripheral neuropathy with potential long-term disability along with stigma. Leprosy patients account for a significant proportion of the global disease burden.

2024年11月28日 · Leprosy, also called Hansen disease, is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae and, to a lesser extent, by Mycobacterium lepromatosis, and is the second most...

麻风分枝杆菌 (M.leprae)，俗称麻风杆菌，引起麻风，是一种慢性传染病。 流行广泛。 麻风分枝杆菌的形态、染色与结核分枝杆菌相似。 麻风杆菌在病人体内分布（以瘤型一端病人为例）比较广泛。 全世界约有病例1200万，主要分布在亚、非和拉丁美洲。
