Today, every two minutes someone on Earth is diagnosed with leprosy, and every fifth is a child!<\/p>\n<p>Leprosy only develops in humans.  It spreads in the same way as TB: the pathogen (Mycobacterium leprae) is transmitted by sneezing and coughing. 95% of humanity is immune to the leprosy pathogen. It only ravages our fellow human beings who are malnourished, live in unhealthy conditions and are at risk of other infections - unfortunately, among the most destitute of the masses. They are what Mother Teresa of Calcutta called the \"wretched of the fourth world\".<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_650\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-650\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-650\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/057..jpg\" alt=\"Mycobacterium\" width=\"720\" height=\"537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lepramisszio.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/057..jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.lepramisszio.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/057.-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-650\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mycobacterium leprae<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>However leprosy is much more than the ravages of a pathogen. That is why it is not enough to fight it with medical means alone. The present and future of a person with leprosy and his or her family, and often his or her wider community (e.g. village) is destroyed psychologically, and socially. Due to ignorance and millennia-old prejudices, leprosy victims are still despised, ostracised and, in many places, completely deprived of their human rights. These psychological sufferings are much more painful than the disease itself.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_652\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-652\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-652\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/166.-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Village\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lepramisszio.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/166.-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lepramisszio.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/166.-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lepramisszio.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/166.-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-652\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Village<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The fight against leprosy can only be fought by a concerted attack on several fronts:<\/p>\n<p>with a comprehensive fight against the deepest poverty, with healing, rehabilitation, education, health education, information, legal protection, and inclusion.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leprosy is one of the oldest afflictions of mankind, but it is still with us today.
