To determine:

In what way the healthcare workers confirm to the patient that she is infected with leprosy; what kind of leprosy the patient is infected with (more likely to have); what is the suitable treatment for her illness; who are at risk of contracting the disease (family members or emergency branch personnel).

Case summary:

A woman with burns (third-degree) on the second and third fingers of her left hand, reached the hospital (emergency department). She tells the nurse that she had been sitting in her room, watching the news, holding a cigarette, when she observed the burning odor.  When she rose to inspect, she saw that her second and third fingers were smouldering and blackened, where the cigarette had burned down. She throws away the cigarette with a jerk. She wondered why the burning caused her no pain.
