Yes, as of 2012, there were still cases of leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, reported worldwide. While the disease is rare and largely treatable with antibiotics, it persists in certain regions, particularly in parts of Africa, Asia, and South America. Efforts to control and eliminate leprosy have been ongoing, but stigma and lack of access to healthcare continue to contribute to its prevalence in some areas.
