THE SEVENTH CENTRAL AMERICAN CONGRESS OF DERMATOLOGY.

The Central American Dermatologic Society, which meets every two years in alternate capitals of Central American countries, held its Seventh Congress in Guatemala City from December 13-17, 1969. The congress was attended not only by local dermatologists but also by many of their colleagues from neighboring countries. A one-day clinical and therapeutic review, given by invited guests, preceded the congress. Leprosy, one of the serious problems of the region, was the subject of several interesting papers.
