The aim of this study was to review and analyse the skin diseases managed by Chinese dermatological service so as to gain the latest prevalence of different types of skin diseases in this mission area.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>All patients assessed and treated by the dermatological service of CHN L1+ MTF from January 2018 to May 2019 were included.

Dermatitis and eczema (27.1%) were the most common category of skin diseases, followed by cutaneous mycoses (13.3%) and disorders of skin appendages (10.6%). Among these categories, unspecified dermatitis (9.3%), acne vulgaris (6.6%), tinea corporis (5.3%), folliculitis (5.1%) and tinea pedis (4.7%) were the top five most common reasons for dermatological consultation.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>To get a clearer understanding of the disease-type profile in this mission area was beneficial for peacekeeping doctors to make more accurate diagnosis, as well as to prepare more comprehensive medicines during the predeployment period. As dermatological service was lacking in basic medical troops, we would recommend the use of telemedicine to promote dermatological consultations when a specialist was not deployed.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/jramc-2019-001315","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,28]],"date-time":"2020-02-28T07:52:40Z","timestamp":1582876360000},"page":"429-432","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Analysis of cases managed by dermatological service in the Chinese peacekeeping level 1+ medical treatment facility in Lebanon, 2018\u20132019"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"167","author":[{"given":"Xingwang","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, General Hospital of Southern Theatre Command of PLA, Guangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, General Hospital of Southern Theatre Command of PLA, Guangzhou\u00ad, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuqing","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, General Hospital of Southern Theatre Command of PLA, Guangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jin","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, General Hospital of Southern Theatre Command of PLA, Guangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qinghua","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency, General Hospital of Southern Theatre Command of PLA, Guangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025081307072984000_167.6.429.1","unstructured":"United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon .
