    Two cases of leprosy from Žatec (Bohemia), dated to the turn of the 12th century and confirmed by DNA analysis for Mycobacterium leprae

  • Original language description

    This article describes two skeletons bearing morphological indications of leprosy from a cemetery at Žatec in North-West Bohemia (Czech Republic). The archaeological context clearly shows that these individuals were buried prior to the second decade of the 12th century, and most probably in the second half of 11th century. Diagnosis was confirmed by DNA analysis. The findings indicate, that leprosy existed prior to the Crusades in medieval Bohemia, albeit that its prevalence was probably not as great asin northern or western Europe.
