Of these, 12.2% were diagnosed with skin disorders.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> Main destinations visited were Asia (40%), Africa (27%) and Latin America (21%). Tourism in the form of adventure travel\/backpacking (47%) and package holidays (23%) was the most common purpose of travel. The leading causes of skin disorders were arthropodal (23%), bacterial (22%), helminthic (11%), protozoan (6%), viral (6%), allergic (5%) and fungal (4%). The 10 most frequently diagnosed specific skin diseases associated with specific destinations were insect bites (17%, Southern Europe), cutaneous larva migrans (8%, Asia and Latin America), cutaneous leishmaniasis (2.4%, Mediterranean Region\/Middle East), dengue fever (1.5%, Asia), rickettsioses (1.3%, Southern Africa), myiasis (0.8%, Central America), filarioses (0.7%, Africa), tick bites (0.6%, Central\/Eastern Europe), schistosomiasis (0.6%, Africa) and tungiasis (0.6%, Africa). Travellers in sub\u2010Saharan Africa had the highest relative risk of acquiring skin disorders.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\u2002<\/jats:bold> As more than 20% of all skin disorders among returned travellers were caused by arthropods and about 50% by infectious pathogens, pre\u2010travel consultations should include specific prophylaxis and consider the most important risk factor for the travel destination.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3156.2011.02840.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,19]],"date-time":"2011-07-19T03:57:30Z","timestamp":1311047850000},"page":"1457-1464","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Skin disorders among travellers returning from tropical and non\u2010tropical countries consulting a travel medicine clinic"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"K.\u2010H.","family":"Herbinger","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Siess","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H.
