Leprosy (or hansen’s disease) is a chronic, progressive bacterial infection that can cause disfigurement and disability if left untreated.
Prevention of disability in people affected by leprosy is primarily seen as prevention and management of impairments secondary to nerve function impairment. This article describes four different levels at which appropriate interventions may lead to the overall prevention of disability.
The following points highlight the two main drugs used for the treatment of leprosy. Dapsone: dapsone is the principal drug to treat leprosy and is chemically related to sulfonamides. Leprae, and its mechanism of action is similar to that of sulfonamides.
Secondary prevention: early diagnosis and complete treatment of leprosy cases. It is available at all government health facilities, free of cost. Tertiary prevention: disability prevention and medical rehabilitation is a tool by which leprosy patient can lead a good quality life.

The most effective way to prevent leprosy is to treat infected patients and thus render them noncontagious. The bacille calmette-guérin (bcg) vaccine has had variable efficacy in clinical trials and is not in widespread use to prevent leprosy.
The different methods considered for primary prevention of leprosy are chemoprophylaxis and immunoprophylaxis. Apart from dapsone and multidrug therapy as methods of treatment and secondary prevention, vaccination of susceptible individuals has often been an area of discussion for primary prevention efforts.
Is often delayed because health care providers are unaware of hansen's disease (leprosy) and its symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment prevents nerve involvement, the hallmark of hansen's disease (leprosy), and the disability it causes. Without nerve involvement, hansen's disease (leprosy) would be a minor skin disease.

Prevention of leprosy through chemoprophylaxis: use of single dose rifampicin (sdr) is recommended as preventive treatment for contacts of leprosy patients (adults and children 2 years of age and above), after excluding leprosy and tb disease, and in the absence of other contraindications.
Leprosy is a chronic infection caused by the acid-fast, rod-shaped bacillus mycobacterium leprae. Leprosy can be considered 2 connected diseases that primarily affect superficial tissues, especially the skin and peripheral nerves.

Primary prevention, or prophylaxis is of prime importance and this can be achieved by reducing an individual's susceptibility as well as by reducing his/her exposure to susceptible individuals. The former needs general health promotion, immunoprophylaxis and chemoprophylaxis.

Leprosy reactions can occur at any time before, during, or after the treatment. Patients with fewer skin lesions and without nerve involvement are less likely to develop leprosy reactions.
