Hansen was born in [[Bergen, Norway|Bergen]] and studied medicine at the Royal Frederik's University (now the [[University of Oslo]]), gaining his degree in 1866. He served a brief [[internship]] at the National Hospital in Christiania ([[Oslo]]) and as a doctor in [[Lofoten]]. In 1868 Hansen returned to Bergen to study leprosy while working with [[Daniel Cornelius Danielssen]], a noted expert.
 
Leprosy was regarded as largely [[hereditary]] or otherwise [[miasma theory of disease|miasmic]] in origin. Hansen concluded on the basis of [[Epidemiology|epidemiological]] studies that leprosy was a specific [[disease]] with a specific cause.<ref name=Irgens_1984>{{cite journal |author=Irgens L |title=The discovery of Mycobacterium leprae.

In 1879 he gave tissue samples to [[Albert Neisser]] who successfully [[Staining|stained]] the bacteria and announced his findings in 1880, claiming to have discovered the disease-causing organism. There was some conflict between Neisser and Hansen, Hansen as discoverer of the bacillus and Neisser as identifier of it as the [[etiology|etiological]] agent. Neisser put in some effort to downplay the assistance of Hansen. Hansen's claim was injured by his failure to produce a pure [[microbiological culture]] in an artificial medium or to prove that the [[rod]]-shaped organisms were infectious. Further Hansen had attempted to infect at least one female patient without consent and although no damage was caused, that case ended in court and Hansen lost his post at the [[hospital]].
