During a 3\u2010month period, the students visited families in a slum area. Information on gender, age, human immunodeficiency virus status, cutaneous abnormalities, diagnosis, treatment, and clinical course was recorded.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> Eleven per cent of the study population suffered from cutaneous disease. More than half the patients (57%) sought medical assistance, but 39% could not be diagnosed by the medical students. The most common disorder was scabies. Other problems included fungal infections, viral infections, allergies, and dermatitis with or without secondary bacterial infection.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold> There is a major dermatologic need in the slum areas of Beira, Mozambique. The dermatology teaching program should pay particular attention to training in the diagnosis and management of infections and infestations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2007.03482.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,24]],"date-time":"2007-10-24T04:26:36Z","timestamp":1193199996000},"page":"35-38","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Cutaneous disorders in the \u201cbairro Inhamudima\u201d of Beira, Mozambique"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Kajal","family":"Chhaganlal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Inge","family":"Van Jaarsveld","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristina","family":"Hoffmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Isabel","family":"Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monique","family":"Krober","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dirk","family":"De Hoop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","volume-title":"UCM Master Plan, 2002\u20132007","author":"Universidade Cat\u00f3lica de Mo\u00e7ambique","year":"2001"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2004.02187.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","volume-title":"Programa Nacional de Controle de Lepra","author":"Author","year":"2005"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","first-page":"6","volume-title":"Epidemiology and Management of Common Skin Diseases in Developing Countries","author":"WHO\/FCH\/CAH\/05.12","year":"2005"}],"container-title":["International Journal of Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1365-4632.2007.03482.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2007.03482.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,27]],"date-time":"2023-09-27T08:51:21Z","timestamp":1695804681000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2007.03482.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,22]]},"references-count":4,"journal-issue":{"issue":"s2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2007.03482.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2007.03482.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0011-9059","1365-4632"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0011-9059","type":"print"},{"value":"1365-4632","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,22]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2007-10-22","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
