Abstract

Purpose of review: International and domestic travelers may acquire a wide variety of infectious diseases transmitted by exposure to insects. Exposure to ticks may be associated with systemic infections clinically suspected through skin and soft tissue manifestations along with fever, myalgia, headache, and other related symptoms. Cutaneous lesions may include eschars at the site of initial contact, maculopapular rashes, or others as the result of systemic dissemination of viral, Rickettsial, parasitic, and protozoan infections acquired by exposure to different types of ticks.

Recent findings: Ticks represent the second most common global vector of transmission of infectious diseases to humans after mosquitoes. In some endemic regions, ticks are the most important vector of transmission of a great variety of infectious pathogens including protozoan (Babesia spp.), viral (Coltivirus), rickettsia, and bacterial infections (Francisella tularensis). With increasing international travel, different tick-borne diseases continue to emerge and being identified.

Summary: Identifying the cutaneous signs associated with tick-borne diseases is crucial to clinically suspect the diagnosis of a specific tick-borne illness. Minimizing the exposure to ticks during domestic or international travel represents the most important intervention to reducing the risk of tick-borne illnesses.

旅行者蜱传疾病的皮肤病学表现。
综述目的:国际和国内旅行者可能因接触昆虫而感染多种传染病。接触蜱虫可能与临床怀疑的全身感染有关,通过皮肤和软组织表现,并伴有发热、肌痛、头痛和其他相关症状。皮肤损伤可能包括最初接触部位的痂、黄斑丘疹或其他因接触不同类型的蜱虫而获得的病毒、立克次体、寄生虫和原生动物感染的全身传播的结果。最近的发现:蜱是仅次于蚊子的全球第二大传染病传播媒介。在一些流行地区,蜱是多种传染性病原体最重要的传播媒介,包括原生动物(巴贝斯虫)、病毒(结肠炎病毒)、立克次体和细菌感染(土拉弗朗西斯菌)。随着国际旅行的增加,不同的蜱传疾病不断出现并得到确认。摘要:识别与蜱传疾病相关的皮肤体征对于临床怀疑特定蜱传疾病的诊断至关重要。在国内或国际旅行期间尽量减少与蜱虫的接触是减少蜱传疾病风险的最重要干预措施。

期刊介绍: Current Tropical Medicine Reports provides expert views on recent advances in the field of tropical medicine in a clear and readable form. This journal offers reviews by domestic and international contributors that highlight the most important, recent papers and findings related to this specific field. We accomplish this by appointing renowned leaders in major tropical medicine subject areas to select topics addressing virology, bacteriology, parasitology, entomology, immunology, cell and molecular biology, epidemiology, ecology, behavioral science and clinical medicine for review by experts who assess the latest developments and highlight significant papers published over the last few years on their topics. These review articles also stress recently published papers of importance in the references, which are accompanied by annotations explaining their importance. In addition to these Section Editors, our international Editorial Board ensures our journal upholds its standards.
