ROQUE PEREZ, Lázaro  e  GARCIA LOPEZ, Ileana. Ernesto Guevara's medical work in leprosarium in Latin America. Rev Cub Med Mil [online]. 2021, vol.50, n.1  Epub 01-Mar-2021. ISSN 1561-3046.

Within Ernesto Guevara's little disclosed medical work, the best known is his work about Allergology; but very little is known about its link with dermatology, due to a disease that harshly punished South America: leprosy. This work explains the medical work of Ernesto Guevara (Che) in different leprosarium during his first trip through Latin America. During this trip, when he was still a medical student, he gave lectures and helped spread the truths about leprosy, so that the sick people were accepted by society and adequately cared for by doctors. He critically observed the environment of the leprosarium he visited and made recommendations to improve them, which would favor the rehabilitation of the patients, whom he even treated and not only healed the body, but also the soul with its humanism without prejudice.

Palavras-chave : Ernesto Guevara; Che; leprosy; humanism.
