The World Health Organization provides a multidrug treatment regimen that targets the bacillus which causes leprosy. Several investigational drugs are available for the treatment of drug-resistant . Future directions in leprosy treatment will focus on: the molecular signaling mechanism uses to avoid triggering an immune response; prospective studies of the side effects experienced during multiple-drug therapy; recognition of relapse rates post-completion of designated treatments; combating multidrug resistance; vaccine development; development of new diagnostic tests; and the implications of the recent discovery of a genetically distinct leprosy-causing bacillus, .</p>
