title: [Tropical bacterial dermatoses].
abstract: There is a number of bacterial dermatoses confined to or aggravated by the tropical environment. They are prone to develop due to the lack of hygiene, the difficult access to water, the hostile geoclimatic conditions and malnutrition. Several clinical categories are distinguished according to the nature of the pathogens and the type of disease spread.
