Abstract
Leprosy, often known as Hansen's disease is a contagious chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae). Our methodology is easily repeatable in tertiary care settings with diagnostic accuracy resources and staff capable of building a stewardship team. Comprehensive antimicrobial policies and programmes are required to properly alleviate the initial issue.
