Resumo: Leprosy is an infectious-contagious disease, which evolves slowly, and manifests itself mainly through dermatoneurological signs and symptoms: lesions on the skin and peripheral nerves, mainly in the eyes, hands and feet. The impairment of peripheral nerves is the main characteristic of the disease, making it have great potential to cause physical disabilities that can, consequently, evolve into deformities. The disease mainly affects the superficial nerves of the skin and peripheral nerve trunks. This study is a literature review that seeks to analyze and synthesize the available information about Leprosy, focusing on the situation in Brazil and public health policies, using data sources from LILACS, PubMed, Scielo and the Brazilian Ministry of Health. It is considered a neglected tropical disease because it remains endemic, almost exclusively in populations living in poverty in developing countries, even after the introduction of effective and free treatment more than 3 decades ago.Social stigmas associated with the disease often lead to isolation among patients, affecting their quality of life and employment opportunities. Lack of awareness among healthcare professionals results in late diagnoses, leading to neurological complications. Therefore, the disease affects not only physical health, but also has significant socioeconomic impacts.

La alteración de los nervios periféricos es la principal característica de la enfermedad, por lo que tiene un gran potencial para provocar discapacidades físicas que, en consecuencia, pueden evolucionar a deformidades. La enfermedad afecta principalmente a los nervios superficiales de la piel y a los troncos de los nervios periféricos. Este estudio es una revisión de la literatura que busca analizar y sintetizar la información disponible sobre la lepra, centrándose en la situación de Brasil y las políticas de salud pública, utilizando fuentes de datos de LILACS, PubMed, Scielo y el Ministerio de Salud de Brasil. Se considera una enfermedad tropical desatendida porque sigue siendo endémica, casi exclusivamente en poblaciones que viven en la pobreza en países en desarrollo, incluso después de la introducción de un tratamiento eficaz y gratuito hace más de tres décadas.Los estigmas sociales asociados con la enfermedad a menudo conducen al aislamiento de los pacientes, lo que afecta su calidad de vida y sus oportunidades laborales. La falta de concienciación entre los profesionales sanitarios provoca diagnósticos tardíos, lo que provoca complicaciones neurológicas. Por tanto, la enfermedad afecta no sólo a la salud física, sino que también tiene importantes impactos socioeconómicos.Hanseníase é uma doença infecto-contagiosa, que evolui de maneira lenta, e se manifesta principalmente através de sinais e sintomas dermatoneurológicos: lesões na pele e nos nervos periféricos, principalmente nos olhos, mãos e pés.

Sendo considerada uma doença tropical negligenciada por persistir endêmica, quase exclusivamente em populações em condição de pobreza nos países em desenvolvimento, mesmo após a introdução de tratamento eficaz e gratuito há mais de 3 décadas. Os estigmas sociais associados à doença frequentemente levam ao isolamento dos pacientes, afetando sua qualidade de vida e oportunidades de emprego. A falta de conscientização entre profissionais de saúde resulta em diagnósticos tardios, levando a complicações neurológicas.  Sendo assim, a doença afeta não apenas a saúde física, mas também tem impactos socioeconômicos significativos.
