Abstract

Abrimos el volumen 65 con este texto editorial acerca de las Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) o Enfermedades Tropicales Desatendidas (ETD), nombre que designó la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) a un grupo de patologías presentes en todos los continentes pero que sin embargo, todavía no tienen a atención que necesitan.
