[Dermatologic problems in travelers returning from the tropics].

The most important dermatological diagnoses reported by 4 clinics in tropical locations are compared with those encountered over a period of 2 years in travellers returning from the tropics and treated in a Swiss medical practice. In both settings infections, parasitic disorders and allergic exanthems predominated. Since it often goes unrecognized, cutaneous leishmaniasis is dealt with in special detail.

[Experience with endemic dermatological diseases in the Peruvian wilderness: mucocutaneous leishmaniasis and Brazilian foliaceous pemphigus].

With the setting up of a rural-medical post in the region of Pachitea-Pichis river, affluent of the Alto Ucayali, in the year 1973, the authors made the diagnosis of 120 cases of pigmentary Leishmaniasis (1,2 % of the total population). 55 % of this series corresponded to pure cutaneous forms and 65 were of the muco-cutaneous type, 21 of the latter being mutilating. Sixty per cent were young males working as wood labourers or farmers. The treatment with Repodral (Etilofen) was useful only in the initial froms. Brezilian Pemhigus foliaceous which is considered endemic in the same geographical area responded wery well to treatment with prednisolone.
