Even though it can be treated, it might cause sores on the skin and harm nerves, says neurologist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/experts\/dr-kunal-bahrani\/\">Dr Kunal Bahrani<\/a>. Leprosy is caused by mycobacterium leprae, which are tiny bacteria that mainly spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Prolonged close contact with an infected person is the primary mode of transmission. However, you should know that leprosy is not as contagious as once thought. Poor immune response to the bacteria can lead to infection.<\/p>\n<p>                                <!-- Ads for inner page --><\/p>\n<p>                                <!--AdsDiv--><\/p>\n<h2>What are the early signs of leprosy in children?<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s important to know the early signs of leprosy and get medical help to treat it properly and avoid problems.
