title: [Infectious non-venereal diseases affecting male and female external genital area].
abstract: Infectious non-venereal diseases are divided into contagious and non-contagious skin diseases, that have sometimes different and unexplained aetiology. Some diseases caused by viruses, fungi, bacteria, Candida albicans and parasites are the contagious skin diseases. The non-contagious diseases include: contact dermatitis, erythema fixum, lichen sclerosus et atrophicus, Reiter's disease and some pre-neoplasmatic lesions. The aim of the study was to demonstrate some skin lesions commonly located on external genital organs in both sexes, that should be differentiated with skin lesions in sexually transmitted diseases.
