Abstract:
Pathology of the strangers or the migrants. Clinical and therapeutical problems, stakes of public health. Denis MECHALI Numerous health problems are noticed in immigrant people or foreigners. Many are similar of those of natives but some are specific to this population. Specific and technical knowledge is essential, especially for diseases unknown in natives. But, even in these cases, physician has to know other aspects, particularly epidemiologic and social aspects. Severity and duration of the pathology must be evaluated for the patient and the circle (especially for transmissible disease). In the same manner, feasibility and cost of diagnosis and therapy must be known and assessed. An accurate thinking must permit to be in harmony with the three matters: technical relevance, satisfactory answer for patients and acceptable value in term of public health.
