Abstract:
Patients with skin of color (SOC) present diseases differently in many circumstances, yet there is a lack of information regarding the presentation and diagnosis of cutaneous manifestations in such patients experiencing infectious diseases. Therefore, we conducted a scoping review to investigate and summarize information pertaining to the clinical presentation and diagnosis of cutaneous manifestations of infectious diseases in patients with SOC focusing on the following viral, bacterial, toxin-mediated, and infestation diseases and fungal infections: human immunodeficiency virus, shingles, impetigo, scarlet fever, Lyme disease, toxic shock syndrome, scabies, rickettsioses, and cutaneous fungal infections. This scoping review identified literature gaps regarding cutaneous manifestations of infectious diseases in patients with SOC such as a lack of visual examples and more precise descriptions of common infectious diseases. The lack of better-quality literature and educational resources describing cutaneous manifestations of infectious diseases in patients with SOC may contribute to care barriers; therefore, more research and collaboration are needed in the specialties of both infectious diseases and dermatology.
摘要:
肤色(SOC)的患者在许多情况下表现出不同的疾病,然而,缺乏有关此类感染患者皮肤表现的表现和诊断的信息。因此,我们进行了范围审查,以调查和总结与SOC患者感染性疾病的临床表现和皮肤表现诊断有关的信息,重点是以下病毒,细菌,毒素介导的,感染疾病和真菌感染:人类免疫缺陷病毒,带状疱疹,脓疱病,猩红热,莱姆病,中毒性休克综合征,疮,立克次体,和皮肤真菌感染。这项范围审查确定了有关SOC患者皮肤感染性疾病表现的文献空白,例如缺乏视觉示例和对常见感染性疾病的更精确描述。缺乏描述SOC患者感染性疾病皮肤表现的高质量文献和教育资源可能会导致护理障碍;因此,传染病和皮肤病学需要更多的研究和合作。
