Skin problems in returning travelers.

A new skin lesion in a returning traveler often poses a difficult diagnostic problem for the clinician whose knowledge of geographic medicine is limited. To reach a diagnosis the physician has to consider the location and style of travel, exposure to pathogens, length of stay, epidemiology, incubation period, and clinical presentation of dermatologic diseases in the countries visited. As with any dermatologic problem, the appearance of the presenting lesion should help to establish the differential diagnosis. This article is a guide to the diagnosis and investigation of skin lesions in returning travelers; it is not intended as a comprehensive review of tropical dermatology.

The preregistration year: Chaos by consensus.

A questionnaire was sent to all preregistration housemen who had graduated from the University of Birmingham in July, 1975. The results showed much dissatisfaction with the workings of the houseyear--specifically, with the long, sleepless hours of work, the almost negligible educational role of the year, the lack of time for human contact with patients, and the tendious, repetitive nature of the work. It is proposed that a shift system, which wound seem to be acceptable to most housemen, would solve many of these problems, and result in a better deal for both doctors and patients.
