Alphos (from Greek ἀλφός ''alphos'' "a dull white leprosy") is a form of non-contagious leprosy, formerly described by the physician Celsus under the name of vitiligo, a term now used for another skin disease. In alphos, the skin is rough, and looks as if it had drops of white on it, not much differing from morphea. It is referenced in the Greek translation of ''Leviticus'' 13:39. ==References== *Murphy, James G. ''A critical and exegetical commentary on Leviticus''. 1872. xiii. 39. "It is alphos. This is a convenient word instead of the phrase ‘non-contagious leprosy.’" * *Wilson, Erasmus. ''(On Diseases of the Skin )''. 1868. p 780. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alphos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
