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.

Spectrum of dermatoses in 165 travelers returning from the tropics with skin diseases.

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.
