Abstract:

This is a section of the book The Challenge of Epidemiology: Issues and Selected Readings. Edited by four eminent epidemiologists, this book consolidates, for the first time, a core of landmark articles on the evolution, scope and limitations, uses, and prospects of epidemiology. An outstanding feature of the book is the inclusion of the editors' assessments of the realm of epidemiology, where it is and where it should be going. It represents a useful tool for both students and practicing professionals and provides a much-needed frame of reference for reorienting the practice of epidemiology. The book is a collection of 91 articles, grouped in five parts. This article presents a disease known as "Mal de la Rosa" that generates scab-like appearance that affects the metacarpus or metatarsus on the hands or feet and causes a burning sensation and acute pain. This article briefly discusses the history, causes, symptoms and also the treatment of the disease.
