Spectrum of skin diseases in Maroon villages of the Maroni area, French Guiana

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dermatology, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 1137-1144, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Due to their genetic characteristics and their high exposure to infectious diseases, Maroons are likely to suffer from a specific spectrum of skin diseases. However, skin disorders have never been explored in this population. We aimed to describe all skin diseases in Maroon villages of the Maroni region in French Guiana.
