* the plague of leprosy.
{Tzar(8483)th,} the Leprosy, from the Greek [lepra,] from [lepis,]
a scale; so called, because in this disease the body is
covered with thin white scales, so as to give it the
appearance of snow. The leprosy is a dreadful, contagious
disorder, common in Egypt and Syria, and generally manifests
itself at first in the manner described in the text. Its
commencement is imperceptible; there appearing only a few
reddish spots on the skin, which are not attended with pain or
any other symptom, but cannot be removed. It increases
imperceptibly, and continues for some years to be more and
more manifest. The spots become larger, spread over the whole
skin, and are sometimes rather raised, though generally flat.
When it increases the upper part of the nose swells, the
nostrils distend, the nose becomes soft, swellings appear on
the under jaws, the eyebrows are elevated, the ears grow
thick, the ends of the fingers, feet, and toes, swell, the
nails grow scaly, the joints of the hands and feet separate,
the palms of hands and soles of the feet are ulcerated, and in
its last stage the patient becomes horrible, and falls to
pieces.
