Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, is a long-term infection caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae. Symptoms include granulomas of the nerves, respiratory tract, skin, and eyes. This may result in a lack of ability to feel pain, which can lead to the loss of parts of extremities such as fingers and toes due to repeated injuries or infection due to unnoticed wounds. Leprosy occurs more commonly among people living in low socio-economic conditions. So, the correct answer is 'Leprosy'.
