The distribution of dermatological conditions has been studied in a total of 1822 consultations with British troops in a primary health care setting on Operation Resolute (Bosnia) between 1 January and 4 March 1996. Approximately one in eight (12%) of the consultations were for skin conditions; eczema was the most common complaint, but, taken as a whole, infections due to virus (excluding warts), fungus and bacteria made up 30%. The overall distribution of diseases was similar to that seen in British general practice.
