Diseases of the tropical areas include some venereal diseases, and they are still very prevalent in some countries; Brazil is one of them. Very few cases are originated in large cities, as Rio de Janeiro, but at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro we also see those patients who come from the interior of the State of Rio de Janeiro or from other states to seek medical care at better equipped hospitals for this type of investigation and therapy. Venereal and tropical dermatoses have many different cutaneous manifestations and may affect skin in several locations. The face is one of the affected areas especially when the disease has a predilection for cartilage, oral and/or nasal mucosa. Alterations observed on the skin of the face and on the mucosa of the mouth of some tropical diseases, such as leprosy, leishmaniasis, paracoccidioidomycosis, donovanosis, and syphilis, as they are observed in Brazil, are presented and discussed in this article.
热带地区的疾病包括一些性病，这些疾病在一些国家仍然非常普遍；巴西就是其中之一。很少有病例起源于大城市，如里约热内卢，但在里约热内卢联邦大学的大学医院，我们也会接待那些从里约热内卢州内陆或其他州前来就医的患者，他们希望在设备更完善的医院接受此类检查和治疗。性病和热带皮肤病有许多不同的皮肤表现，可能会影响身体多个部位的皮肤。面部是受影响的部位之一，尤其是当疾病倾向于侵犯软骨、口腔和/或鼻黏膜时。本文展示并讨论了在巴西观察到的一些热带疾病，如麻风病、利什曼病、副球孢子菌病、杜诺凡病和梅毒，在面部皮肤和口腔黏膜上所观察到的病变。
