title: [Immigration and HIV: pulmonary, cutaneous and genitourinary syndromes. Eosinophilia].
abstract: Infectious diseases are the leading cause of mortality in less developed countries, many of which are located in tropical areas. These diseases have particular features than can hamper diagnosis unless clinicians are familiar with their characteristics. The present article describes the clinical pattern of pulmonary, cutaneous and genitourinary tropical diseases and the main principles of their diagnosis. Emphasis is placed on their geographical distribution and the influence of HIV infection.
