[Embryofetal diseases in the tropical zone].
The treatment and the prevention of acquired fetal diseases in developing countries are difficult. Nevertheless the deleterious consequences of fever, alcohol consumption, drug intake and malaria on the embryo and the foetus can be avoided by appropriate measures. As for the prevention and the diagnostic in utero of rubella and toxoplasmosis, they may be considered lately when the current priority objectives of public health are reached. Epidemiological studies on these diseases are therefore justified.
