Abstract :

Leprosy an ancient curable chronic infectious granulomatous disease. In the absence of the classic involvement of the peripheral nerves, the clinical manifestations of leprosy are diverse and can mimic a host of other skin disorders. The clinical classification of early lesions of leprosy is often difficult, where skin biopsy plays a crucial role in diagnosis.
