Hi! There are a lot of neglected tropical diseases in dermatology. Some of them have already been cited by colleagues but i can add yaws, bejel and pinta, from the group of endemic treponematoses. I did a little research activities on yaws and azithromycin. Before monkeypox outbreak highlighted MKPV, this viral pathogen was neglected with VZV, EV71 and Molluscum contagiosum virus, all included in dermatological neglected tropical diseases. Thanks you
Eight countries eliminated a neglected tropical disease last year, bringing the number of nations that have done so since the late 1990s to almost 50.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo eliminated the parasitic guinea worm disease.
Togo, Malawi, Saudi Arabia and Vanuatu got rid of the bacterial infection trachoma.
Rwanda, Uganda and Equatorial Guinea eliminated a type of sleeping sickness.
More than one billion people, mostly living in impoverished communities, are affected by neglected tropical diseases. Despite this, the conditions are largely overlooked by global health agendas...
