Abstract

Leprosy (Hansen's disease) is a chronic granulomatous infectious disease, caused by Mycobacterium leprae, with cutaneous and neurological manifestations. Leprosy is very rare in Europe but some cases are reported, especially among people coming from endemic areas. Here, we report a case of Hansen's disease and emphasize the importance of a prompt diagnosis and treatment also in non-endemic areas.

麻风病（汉森病）是一种由麻风分枝杆菌引起的慢性肉芽肿性传染病，具有皮肤和神经表现。麻风病在欧洲非常罕见，但也有一些病例报告，尤其是在来自流行地区的人群中。在这里，我们报告了一例汉森病，并强调了即使在非流行地区也需要及时诊断和治疗。
