    Study Notes

    • M. leprae causes destruction of facial cartilage and bone
    • Pathogenesis of M. leprae leads to diffuse ulceration and deformities of extremities
    • Multibacillary HD can cause facial disfiguration
    • The image provided by WHO/TDR/McDougall shows a person with facial disfiguration due to leprosy
    • Approximately 250,000 cases of leprosy are reported worldwide
    • Leprosy is caused by a bacterial infection
    • Leprosy primarily affects the skin and nerves
    • Leprosy is curable with multi-drug therapy
    • Early detection and treatment can prevent disability and deformities
    • Leprosy is not highly contagious and can be treated if diagnosed early.
    1. M. leprae causes leprosy, with diagnosis through acid-fast bacilli in lesions and skin test reactivity.
    2. Treatment for leprosy varies based on type and can last up to 2 years.
    3. Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are not transmitted person-to-person and are opportunistic pathogens.
    4. Mycobacterium avium Complex (MAC) is the most common mycobacterial infection in AIDS patients in the US.
    5. NTM rapid growers, such as M. abscessus, are introduced into the skin and subcutaneous tissues.
    6. Dental waterlines are a breeding ground for bacteria, including Mycobacterium abscessus.
    7. Legionella pneumophila is an aquatic, gram-negative coccobacillus that causes Legionnaires' disease.
    8. Legionnaires' disease can be severe and has a 5-30% mortality rate if untreated.
    9. Legionella bacteria can grow in pipes under a biofilm, making it difficult to eradicate.
    10. Bacteria in dental waterlines can be transmitted directly to the patient's mouth.
