The first atlas of dermatological disease specifically devoted to indigenous people Offers concrete support for dermatologists, physicians, and nurses who work with isolated communities, especially with indigenous people Features unique content, including data collected during the Xingu Project expeditions to the Amazon rainforest Skin diseases are highly prevalent among indigenous people, leading to low mortality but greatly impacting their quality of life. Such diseases can be observed in indigenous people; both those living in isolated communities and those who have since been urbanized to some degree share a common characteristic of presenting different clinical patterns than non-indigenous individuals. These specificities necessitate a special approach when diagnosing dermatologic diseases in indigenous people. However, these considerations are rarely discussed in standard dermatology books.
