Syndromal tropical dermatology	2009-05-15		.txt	text/plain	6256	311	43	With increasing numbers of persons from industrialized, temperate countries traveling and/or working in tropical lands, there is a marked need for physicians to be able to diagnose accurately and treat tropical diseases with mucocutaneous manifestations. Considerations for deciding the differential diagnosis of cutaneous manifestations of tropical diseases and/or of diseases acquired while traveling must be based not only on the type of lesions and systemic symptoms but also on the patient's history of travel. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) should be considered at the top of the differential diagnoses when a patient presents with Syndromal tropical dermatology genital lesions and/or urogenital discharge. The most common cause of fever after tropical travel is malaria, which usually does not have specific cutaneous manifestations. If at least 3 months separate travel from fever/rash, the following infections should be considered: bartonellosis, filariasis, gnathostomiasis, hepatitis viruses (B and C), histoplasmosis, HIV, leishmaniasis, Lyme disease, melioidosis, penicilliosis, syphilis, trypanosomiasis, and tuberculosis.	./cache/cord-021668-33zfio0u.txt	./txt/cord-021668-33zfio0u.txt
