Leprosy is mainly a disease of the skin and nerves. The involvement of nerves may lead to impairments that have, contributed to the fact that leprosy is often still seen as a disease to be feared. In non leprosy-endemic Western countries, beliefs continue to prevail about the inevitability of deformities and the lack of a cure. I review the pathogenesis of deformity and to present a discourse on how deformities can, to a very large extent, be prevented and corrected. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier Inc.
