Abstract
 

This literature review highlights the social impact of various diseases, and more specifically their negative consequences to the patients. Stigma caused by these diseases is diachronic and leads all the sufferers, both adults and children, to social exclusion. Moreover, the measures that have to be taken for the prevention of these situations and the rehabilitation of the above mentioned patients are identified. At the end ethical aspects of stigmatization and social exclusion in health services are discussed.
