Dermatoses are one of the three most common presenting health care problems in returning travelers. The spectrum of travel-related dermatoses is broad, and includes tropical, cosmopolitan, and environmental skin diseases. Bacterial infections are the main cause of skin consultations in returning travelers. Most of these infections are not specific to the tropics and are the consequences of arthropod bites. Conversely, tropical skin infections are less commonly observed. Knowledge of imported dermatoses among Western physicians is limited, even though it is becoming increasingly important that doctors be able to recognize and differentiate between the diverse varieties of diseases. This review highlights the most recent developments regarding dermatologic presentations of tropical diseases in travelers in order to provide more effective pre-travel counseling and an up-to-date aid to post-travel diagnosis and treatment.
皮肤病是旅行者中最常见的三种健康问题之一。与旅行相关的皮肤病谱广泛，包括热带、世界性和环境性皮肤病。细菌感染是旅行者中皮肤咨询的主要原因。这些感染大多不是热带特有的，是节肢动物叮咬的后果。相反，热带皮肤感染则较少见。即使医生能够识别和区分各种疾病变得越来越重要，但西方医生对输入性皮肤病的了解是有限的。本文综述了旅行者中热带疾病的皮肤病表现的最新进展，以便提供更有效的旅行前咨询，并为旅行后诊断和治疗提供最新的帮助。
