Abstract
The article initially plants the discussions that have been given around the neglected tropical diseases, their characteristics and classification. In second instance, examines the prevalence, population at risk, affected regions and the associated mortality to these diseases. Finally, a critical analysis of the current state of the knowledge in issue of research for the development of medicines for the eradication and control of these diseases is presented. (MÉD.UIS. 2010;23(2):144-7).
Key words: Pharmaceutical Preparations. Disease. Tropical Climate. Poverty Areas.
