Most of the early effective treatments for leprosy were developed at Carville - including promin and dapsone. Dapsone is still part of the multi-drug treatment for leprosy, today.

there are still a million leperosy patients in the world. India has the highest. Guy I know volunteered in a leper colony over there. Humbling experience.
