Abstract：
Clinical manifestations of dermatological and musculoskeletal conditions can sometimes overlap, leading to confusion in diagnosis. Patients with nail and skin infections may undergo imaging examinations with suspicions of muscle, tendon, or joint injuries. Dermatological infections often involve soft tissues and musculoskeletal structures, and their etiology can range from fungi, bacteria, viruses, to protozoa. Relying solely on physical examination may not be sufficient for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, necessitating the use of complementary imaging exams. The objective of this paper is to present and discuss imaging findings of the main infectious conditions affecting the nail apparatus and skin. The paper also highlights the importance of imaging in clarifying diagnostic uncertainties and guiding appropriate treatment for dermatological conditions.
摘要：
皮肤病学和肌肉骨骼疾病的临床表现有时会重叠，导致诊断混乱。有指甲和皮肤感染的病人可能会因为怀疑肌肉而接受影像学检查,肌腱,或关节损伤。皮肤科感染通常涉及软组织和肌肉骨骼结构，它们的病因可以从真菌，细菌,病毒,原生动物。单纯依靠体检可能不足以制定准确的诊疗计划,需要使用补充成像检查。本文的目的是介绍和讨论影响指甲设备和皮肤的主要感染状况的影像学发现。本文还强调了成像在澄清诊断不确定性和指导皮肤病的适当治疗方面的重要性。
