I can`t rember the name, it is about a man with leprosey. He somehow ends up in another world where he is not afflicted. I believe it is part of a series.

"The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" by Stephen B Donaldson
http://www.amazon.com/Chronicles-Thomas-Covenant-Unbeliever/dp/0006473296/ref=sr_1_1/104-8412583-2845536?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1190848876&sr=1-1
"Covenant has recently contracted leprosy, which cost him two fingers on one hand. While he is in the leprosarium getting stabilized, his wife divorces him and takes their infant son away with her. This would certainly ruin any one's day and it sure ruins Covenant's, especially after he finds himself magically transported to a mysterious new land called "the Land". Covenant is a whiny, short tempered, mean-spirited, neurotic mess. And he is our reluctant hero. Everything about the Land (except the bad guy, Lord Foul and his agents) is beautiful. Nature and mankind in perfect balance. There is magic in the air (literally). All this is in sharp contrast to Covenant who is cranky, nasty and always complaining about how his leprosy limits his life and screaming "Don't touch me! I'm a leper!" Which is a bit odd since the author takes great pains to point out repeatedly that leprosy is barely contagious. But this series seems to be about contrasts - the dark and evil Lord Foul and the beautiful Land, the miserable doubting Thomas and the wonderful inhabitants of the Land etc."
