Tropical and ethnic dermatology Henk E. Menke Henk Menke (1942) studied medicine in the 60s at Leiden University, and specialized in dermatology at Erasmus University in Rotterdam. After his PhD thesis on aspects of the humoral immune response in syphilis patients, he worked from 1975 to 1978 as a dermatologist in his home country Suriname, where he became familiar with dermatology of the pigmented skin. He was also involved in clinical and epidemiological work regarding infectious diseases. During fieldwork in rural areas, attenuated yaws was identified as a specific type of this endemic treponematosis: a clinical/epidemiological variety with minimal symptoms, evidently emerging in the final stage of the epidemic.[1,2] Further, he mapped STDs in the country, raising awareness of regional (Caribbean) as well as transatlantic prostitution as a “social vehicle” of STD transmission between countries.[3] Back in the Netherlands he worked as a dermatologist in the Sint Franciscus Hospital in Rotterdam from 1980 to 2003, focusing on ethnic dermatology. He pointed to the consequences of rapidly changing demographics for Dutch dermatology practice, with 10% of the population in the Netherlands having a non-white skin colour by the year 2000, and in the big cities rising even to 50%. He was the first in the Netherlands to recognize and describe patients with skin damage caused by the application of bleaching agents.
