Infections acquired by exposure to water are common. The evolution of these infections found in our region is benign. However, some acquired in our regions or during travel abroad, may have a severe clinical course that requires early diagnosis. This article proposes a non-exhaustive review of the most common infections encountered in our regions or acquired abroad. The review excludes gastrointestinal infections acquired after ingestion of contaminated water.
