	Gerhard Armauer Hansen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gerhard Henrick Armauer Hansen (July 29, 1841 - February 12, 1912) was a Norwegian physician, remembered for his identification of Mycobacterium leprae as the causative agent of leprosy in 1873.
		Hansen's claim was injured by his failure to produce a pure culture in an artificial medium or to prove that the rod-shaped organisms were infectious.
		Hansen remained medical officer for leprosy in Norway and it was through his efforts that the leprosy acts of 1877 and 1885 were passed, leading to a steady decline of the disease in Norway from 1,800 known cases in 1875 to just 575 cases in 1901.
