TLDR
A 34-year-old patient presented with giant, transient urticarial skin lesions and periorbital edema after a 3-month stay in DR Congo; retrospective analysis of stored samples revealed that these signs were prodromal manifestations of acute hepatitis B infection.Abstract:
A 34-year-old patient presented with giant, transient urticarial skin lesions and periorbital edema after a 3-month stay in DR Congo. Retrospective analysis of stored samples revealed that these signs were prodromal manifestations of acute hepatitis B infection. The hepatitis B infection was spontaneously cleared; the skin lesion did not recur.read more

Egidio Imbalzano,Marco Casciaro,S. Quartuccio,Paola Lucia Minciullo,Antonio Cascio,Gioacchino Calapai,Sebastiano Gangemi +6 more
TL;DR: Data obtained indicated viral infection as a potential trigger and sometimes as the main etiologic agent in causing acute or chronic urticaria in adults and in every case, urticarial manifestation cleared up after either healing or controlling of the viral infection.

Comorbidity of viral hepatitis and chronic spontaneous urticaria: A systematic review
TL;DR: Routine screening for these infections in patients with CSU is not relevant or cost‐effective and should not be performed unless liver function tests are abnormal, risk factors or symptoms of viral hepatitis are present, or urticarial vasculitis is suspected.

Periorbital edema: a puzzle no more?
TL;DR: This article synthesizes the current literature on the topic with a case series from an institution to provide a thorough resource for all practitioners to make the prospect of triaging, diagnosing, and treating periorbital edema less daunting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous and antiviral-induced cutaneous lesions in chronic hepatitis B virus infection.
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive literature search of all the papers presenting case reports of dermatological lesions in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection was carried out, which included only patients with histologically proven skin lesions that appeared in the normal course of hepatitis b infection, or after immunization for hepatitis B or antiviral treatment.

Dermatoses Associated with Travel to Tropical Countries: A Prospective Study of the Diagnosis and Management of 269 Patients Presenting to a Tropical Disease Unit
TL;DR: Patients with travel-associated dermatosis are advised on how to avoid exposure to the agents and vectors of infectious dermatoses and travel first-aid kits should include insect repellents and antibiotics effective against bacterial skin infections.

TL;DR: Clinicians seeing patients post-travel should be alert to classic travel-related skin diseases such as CLM as well as more mundane entities such as pyodermas and allergic reactions, and carry a travel kit including insect repellent, topical antifungals, and corticosteroids.

Séverine Ansart,Lucia Perez,Stéphane Jauréguiberry,Martin Danis,François Bricaire,Eric Caumes +5 more
TL;DR: Dermatoses diagnosed in travelers returning from the tropics seemed to be influenced by traveler status and region visited, and statistically significant correlations of infectious cellulitis with females, PUO with older age and immigrant status, and cutaneous larva migrans with tourism were found.
