Abstract:
Leprosy reactions are a major cause of nerve damage and morbidity in a significant proportion of leprosy patients. Reactions are immunologically mediated and can occur even after successful completion of multi-drug therapy. This review focuses on the epidemiology, pathology and treatment of leprosy type 1 reactions, erythema nodosum leprosum and silent neuropathy.

Background: The prevalence of leprosy among children is crucial for determining the disease's spread to the broader population. In rare cases, individuals with lepromatous and borderline lepromatous leprosy may develop necrotizing erythema nodosum leprosum as a type 2 reaction. This case report will discuss a rare occurrence of vasculonecrotic ENL in a child to improve understanding of the spectrum of leprosy and its management especially in the paediatric population.

Abstract:
Leprosy is an infectious disease that causes very complex problems. The problem in question is not only from a medical point of view but also extends to social, economic, cultural, security and resilience issues. Stigma in the community is still a major obstacle in an effort to break the chain of leprosy transmission. . The irregularity of treatment and the disappearance of people with leprosy have an impact on the failure of leprosy prevention. In addition, people affected by leprosy and families with leprosy as care givers do not receive proper direction and evaluation regarding their roles

Leprosy is a chronic infectious peripheral neuropathy caused by Mycobacterium leprae. The different clinical presentations of the disease are determined by the quality of the host immune response. Early detection of leprosy and treatment by multidrug therapy are the most important steps in preventing deformity and disability. Thus the early recognition of the clinical leprosy presentation is essential. Mononeuritis, mononeuritis multiplex (MM), polyneuritis (MM summation) are the most frequent.

Leprosy (Hansen's disease) is a human infectious disease that can be effectively treated with 6-12 month administration of multi-drug therapy. In 2008, approximately 250,000 new cases were reported to the World Health Organization. The etiological agent, Mycobacterium leprae, was identified by G.H.A. Hansen in the nineteenth century. Subsequent to exposure, epidemiological studies maintain the importance of host genetics in leprosy susceptibility.

The studies selected met stringent evaluation criteria in order to draw common lessons for future development of interventions
