New Report Shows Leprosy on the Rise in Los Angeles County

California is not just a public toilet but now there is evidence that leprosy is on the rise in Los Angeles County.

Barack Obama changed US law in 2016 and allowed immigrants with blistering STDs and leprosy to migrate to the US.


Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, is rarely seen in the United States, but cases continue to emerge in Los Angeles County, a new report says.

“Hansen’s disease still exists, and we need to educate medical students and physicians,” coauthor Dr. Maria Teresa Ochoa from Keck Medical Center of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, told Reuters Health by email.

Dr. Ochoa and colleagues identified 187 patients with the disease in a review of medical records from their leprosy clinic spanning 1973 to 2018. Most patients were Latino, originating from Mexico, and they experienced a median delay in diagnosis of more than three years, the team reports JAMA Dermatology, online August 7.

Multibacillary leprosy (MB) cases outnumbered paucibacillary leprosy (PB) cases by nearly eight to one (88.6% vs. 11.4%, respectively), and Latino patients were more likely than non-Latino patients to have MB, as were patients from Central or South America (versus other regions).

Most patients (80.7%) received multidrug therapy, and most (92.6%) received antibiotics for more than two years, especially if they had MB.

Only about half of patients (56.7%) had World Health Organization (WHO) grade 0 disability (no signs or symptoms suggestive of leprosy or disability) at the one-year follow-up, whereas 16.0% had grade 1 disability (loss of protective sensation) and 26.2% had grade 2 disability (visible deformity) at the last follow-up.

Among the patients who lost protective sensation, 87.7% (50/57) did not regain it following therapy.

Lots of those things will be back with all the illegals.

Yay. coming to my beat in San Francisco soon.

Diversity certainly is wonderful, exactly like the Marxists would have us believe.

And there is a good example of your liberal government protecting YOU the American citizen. It is also a good example of why you don't vote Democrat.

You need to retire as soon as you can and GTH out of there. Maybe move to northwest Cali or Idaho and double-dip as a Deputy. It's not worth getting some exotic disease or getting killed by some nutcase that doesn't even know what he's doing due to his thinking he didn't need his medicine any more.

Collateral damage is acceptable trade for democrat votes.

I'm sure glad you are getting out before long.

I just pray it's in time for you.

Huh ,Didn't see anything about that on the news,,,,
where's the sarcasim font

Tracy! Get yourself tomTexas pronto! We gonna need you here!

Democrats are stupid, I think they want to make everyone miserable.

If they were stupid, they wouldn’t control the Media, the Unions, Wall Street, The Federal Reserve, the House, The FBI, The DOJ, The CIA and over half the American population.

Here's an example of liberal logic. I deal many just like him.

"SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) — Austin James Vincent, a homeless man who was arrested after a vicious attack of a San Francisco woman was recorded by a surveillance camera, was ordered Friday to wear an ankle GPS monitor but allowed to remain free to receive mental health treatment.

The release of the 25-year-old Vincent after he was booked for the Sunday attack of San Francisco resident Paneez Kosarian outside the lobby of her condo building known as the Watermark has sparked a growing controversy.

Vincent’s release from jail by Judge Christine Van Aken has drawn criticism from San Francisco Mayor London Breed and the San Francisco Police Officers Association among others.

On Friday, Vincent’s case was back in front of Van Aken but the suspect was excused from being the courtroom. This time, the judge decided Vincent should be required to wear a GPS ankle tracking monitor.

Van Aken defended her original ruling that Vincent should be released without any stipulations, saying her interest was balancing public safety and her conviction that not all people suffering from mental health need to be placed in jail.

She said she had decided to release Vincent on Tuesday based on his non-violent criminal history, which included one petty theft arrest in 2014, and under the condition that he receives treatment.

Van Aken said the first time she saw the video was on television while eating at a restaurant after she had ordered Vincent released.

“I was frankly alarmed at the level of violence I saw on the video. I was concerned about the conduct that I saw there,” Van Aken said in court.

She said the video altered her opinion on the public safety risk."
