ABSTRACT

The tropical ulcerative syndrome (TUS) refers to infectious agents found in tropical countries that lead to the development of pathologies that clinically present as skin ulcers; since these diseases are sometimes forgotten, the diagnosis is not timely, which leads to an increase in morbidity and mortality. A clinical and diagnostic practical approach on the most important entities is presented.
