Leprosy: Treatment of leprosy differs depending on the form of the disease. Treatment generally continues for one year for tuberculoid leprosy and two years for lepromatous leprosy. With treatment, less than 0.1 percent of people fail to be cured of leprosy. In order to cure leprosy, doctors generally prescribe antibiotics that kill mycobacterium leprae.
