👉 Leprosy, a condition caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae, is characterized by a series of symptoms that often lead to disability and death. The symptoms include skin ulcers, diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue, fever, and persistent infections. While it's not uncommon for people with leprosy to have other health problems such as respiratory issues or neurological disorders, the underlying cause typically lies in the bacteria themselves.
