a look at what's being done to wipe out the disease. humanity has lived with leprosy for millennia, though throughout most of history contracting, it meant a long, debilitating death sentence. the crippling disease has been treatable for around 80 years now. the symptoms generally 1st appear on the skin and mucous membranes where the condition causes characteristic lesions. if the illness advance is untreated, it can lead to deformities. it's caused by rod shaped bacteria that are closely related to the ones that cause tuberculosis. in fact, being vaccinated against t b provides partial protection against contracting, leprosy, like other bacterial infections. it can be treated with antibiotics, a multi drug therapy of 3 different medications, cures it and individuals. but the disease remains and demick in some countries. though the disease has grown rare in europe and the middle east,

around $20000.00 people, every year still contracted and both the americas most in brazil and africa. but the lion's share of new cases now occur in southeast asia, particularly in india. most of the infections that we now see globally, largely from 3 countries, brazil, indiana, indonesia. what happens is that leprosy is always clustered in certain communities, are certain vulnerable groups or even certain geography groups. these are very remotely located populations in remote geographies, and so on. we'll have less access to treatment, etc. so, oh, so it's in those mainly you that the infection continues to try. oh though, the bacteria that caused leprosy aren't really highly infectious. untreated people can spread it. and crowded living conditions increase the risk. in some places, patients have difficulty accessing the antibiotics,

even though they're provided for free by the world health organization. and the stigma associated with the disease means many seek to hide their condition for as long as possible. those factors and others continue to make it difficult to wipe out leprosy completely. so what she ended up in is live from berlin. stick around because coming up after the break is our show shift taking a look at how a i is conquering b r 12. i'm available. hm. and thanks for watching. i'll see you soon. bye bye. ah ah, she's got any issues or thoughts they will grade you.
