    Extractions: The Novartis Foundation supported 4 small-scale projects run by HANDA (the Hansen Damien Welfare Association) based in the city of Guangzhou to help leprosy sufferers in 63 high endemic villages in Guangdong province in southern China. The projects had the following aims: The project ran 3 month sewing courses in the Handa building in the city of Guangzhou which also served as a short-term residence for Handa members looking for jobs. Those completing the course were trained to operate high speed sewing machines. Most Handa members who sought factory jobs, found them at average wage levels for the jobs. Others went on to work in health care or as sewing teachers. A few of the trainees came from cities but most were from those villages with a high incidence of leprosy in Guangdong province. Reports from local government officials as well as follow-up visits by Handa officials indicated that the trainees' stay in a supportive environment had helped them greatly in developing their self confidence and in facilitating their social integration in the very different world of the city.For the minority who returned to their villages, the acquisition of a skill had improved their standing within their communities. In two years, the school trained 56 people from Guangdong and an adjoining province.

    Extractions: Home About ILEP News Publications and Documents ... Links Frequently asked questions about Leprosy WHAT IS LEPROSY? A chronic, infectious disease caused by a bacterium, Mycobacterium leprae. INFECTIOUS? Yes, but around 95% of people have immune systems able to cope with the bacteria. IS THERE A CURE FOR LEPROSY? Yes. Leprosy can now be cured completely through a combination of drugs (Multidrug therapy or MDT). Several MDT regimens were introduced in 1982, following research recommendations for the treatment of leprosy. WHERE IS LEPROSY FOUND GEOGRAPHICALLY? Leprosy was endemic in Western Europe during Medieval times, and was only eliminated from Scandinavia in the early twentieth century. The decline of leprosy in Europe before a successful drug treatment was available, is attributed to the improvement in living standards, better housing, clean water supplies, and improved nutrition and hygiene. Leprosy today is found mainly in developing countries, in tropical areas. DOES IT HAVE ANY OTHER NAMES?

    Extractions: Web posted at: 10:56 p.m. EDT (0256 GMT) From Correspondent Charles Zewe CARVILLE, Louisiana (CNN) For the last 104 years, patients suffering from leprosy have been living in the isolation of the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital in Carville, Louisiana. But now only about 6,000 people in the United States suffer from Hansen's disease, as leprosy is more formally known, and drugs make the malady easily controllable. So the federal government is closing Carville and a similar center on the Hawaiian island of Molokai. Correspondent Charles Zewe visits one of the last long-term care facilities for leprosy, or Hansen's disease, in the United States Perhaps as early as this fall, the state of Louisiana is expected to turn the Carville hospital into a school for juvenile delinquents. The 124 patients, most of whom have lived here for most of their lives, can either transfer to another long-term care facility or go out on their own with free medical care and a $33,000 annual stipend. Rachel Pendleton , 68, who came to Carville a half-century ago, welcomes the chance to strike out on her own.

It is a notorious cause of blindness, nasal, hand and feet deformities with neurotrophic ulceration and neurotrophic ankle and feet joint changes. It is widespread in the world especially in Tropical Africa, South and Central America, India and other parts of Asia. In recent years it has declined worldwide with introduction of multiple drug chemotherapy, intensified treatment and improved living conditions. In 1986, 5.4 million patients were registered worldwide and this fell to 2.4 million by 1994. The leprosy burden drops by 68% in the global prevalence since 1985. Leprosy elimination in the Western Pacific region is feasible with following statistics in 1994: 39,911 registered cases, with a prevalence rate of 0.25/10,000, down from a prevalence rate of 1.7/10,000 in 1985 12,694 new cases with a detection rate of 0.08/10,000 over 95% Multi-drug therapy (MDT) coverage in 1994 (8.8% in 1986)

Tremendous progress has been made in leprosy control since multi-drug therapy was adopted as standard treatment. Since 1985, over 11 million people have been cured of the disease and a number of countries have managed to eliminate it altogether. However, despite this dramatic success, the number of newly detected cases of leprosy is still worryingly high. In February 2002 the International Leprosy Association (ILA) organised a Technical Forum with 16 experts in leprosy from 11 countries to review the future of leprosy control.

    Extractions: Web posted at: 6:30 p.m. EDT (2230 GMT) RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (CNN) - The Brazilian government has launched a national television and radio campaign to educate people about leprosy, a highly contagious disease that has become epidemic in some regions of the country. Health officials estimate that as many as half a million people are afflicted with the disease. An average of 100 new cases are reported each day. Leprosy is a disease that primarily afflicts the skin and nerves. If left untreated, it can cause paralysis and disfigurement. Once considered a punishment from God, leprosy is a disease that carries a social stigma as well. Early diagnosis and treatment of the disease are crucial to containing its spread. "With the medications now available for treatment, this disease could have been eradicated. Instead it's a serious problem," said Arturo Custodio Moreira, an expert on the disease. Health officials are targeting high poverty areas, where the disease is spreading most rapidly. The new media campaign teaches people how to identify leprosy and encourages them to see a doctor as soon as they suspect they may have the disease.
