A 29 year-old Nigerian origin was hospitalized in the Infectious ward Sick of Rimini. For doctors there is a strong suspicion that this is a case of leprosy. Today the man, who lives in Romagna for four years, was transferred to the specialized center of Genoa. The 29 year-old Sunday had returned from Africa, when it is alarmed by those special extras lesions on hands and feet. Doctors have now decided to have it checked by the Department of Infectious Rimini hospital. Experts are still awaiting the outcome of initial investigations, but because of the singularity of the disease, they decided to transfer him to Liguria, at the national reference center regarding the infamous disease.
It should however be pointed out that, in spite of the concerns, the contagion of leprosy today is very difficult and, with modern techniques, healing is almost always assured. The health screening is still placed under observation twenty people, all those who have been in contact with the 29 year-old, already reached the office of dell'Ausl hygiene to start the appropriate procedures. The young Nigerian lives alone, has a job, and beyond professional circles, also attended the parish, writes Il Resto del Carlino. The Health department dell'Ausl and health dell'Infermi ensure that even in the event it were leprosy, one of one kind or another has been in contact with the man, should not follow any drug therapy, you simply remain under medical supervision.
The so-called Hansen's disease (defined legally used by the Italian public and state agencies) is an infectious and chronic disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae, which affects the skin and peripheral nerves in various ways and degrees, even very disabling. Once considered the most severe epidemics, after the plague, in the modern era has proved much less formidable.
