Tzaraath (Hebrew: צָרַעַת ṣāraʿaṯ), variously transcribed into English and frequently translated as leprosy (though it is not Hansen's disease, the disease known as "leprosy" in modern times [1]), is a term used in the Bible to describe various ritually impure disfigurative conditions of the human skin, [2] clothing, [3] and houses. [4]
They were given by injection and orally, and were believed to cure some people, but results were often disputed. It was not until the 1940s that the first effective treatment, promin, became available. [3] The search for additional anti-leprosy drugs led to the use of clofazimine and rifampicin in the 1960s and 1970s. [4]
