Leprosy was omnipresent in the medieval society.
Also children felt victim of this terrible disease, like this young child, suffering from the first disorders.
At a later stage the disease looked like this !

I don`t approve this illustration of Middle Age Life.Leprosy exists today under the name of Hansen's disease. It is only contracted in childhood.It has treatment but it`s necessary to know make its diagnosis what sometimes isn`t done by medical forgetfulness that the disease is present yet in our days.
