Data from recent studies provide insight into the most common skin infections and their management. RECENT FINDINGS: Several studies confirm that skin infections account for the majority of pediatric mortality and morbidity in developing countries. They are prevalent in resource-poor settings and rural areas in certain parts of the world. Also, hot, humid climates and overcrowding predispose to skin infections. Most of the skin infections are curable with effective medication. SUMMARY: Skin infections are of particular importance in developing countries. This review focuses on the most common skin infections and summarizes the most recent knowledge on the epidemiology, morbidity, and treatment in resource-poor settings. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial review Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
