Abstract

South Dakota is the home of many new immigrants. In addition to brightening the cultural tapestry of the state with their traditions and customs, these newest residents broaden the perspective of their physicians by presenting them with medical conditions uncommon in the Midwest. This article reviews some of the special infectious, nutritional, psychological, women's health and cultural conditions that might be encountered while caring for new immigrants.
