Leprosy is caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium leprae and this bacteria can be killed by antibiotics. In the olden days they did not have antibiotics to treat this with. Leprosy is also called Hansen's Disease. Also, the bacteria is related to the organism that caused TB: Mycobacterium tuberculae.
