Caption:
The face of this Indian man exhibited some of the pathologic characteristics associated with a case of lepromatous leprosy, which under the newer World Health Organization (WHO) standards, is classified as multibacillary (MB) leprosy. Of note was the absence of his eyebrows, but oddly, he still sported a beard. This illness is caused by the bacterium, Mycobacterium leprae.
