Abstract

Leprosy is one of the major public health problems and listed among the neglected tropical diseases in India. It is also called Hansen's Diseases (HD), which is a long haul contamination by microorganisms Mycobacterium leprae or Mycobacterium lepromatosis.Untreated, leprosy can dynamic and changeless harm to the skin, nerves, appendages, and eyes. This paper intends to depict classification of leprosy cases from the main indication of side effects. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) of Leprosy Patients from verified sources have been generated. The clinical notes included in EHRs have been processed through Natural Language Processing Tools. In order to predict type of leprosy, Rule based classification method has been proposed in this paper. Further our approach is compared with various Machine Learning (ML) algorithms like Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic regression (LR) and performance parameters are compared.
