Features of the Course of Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis of Presummably Infectious Tropical Origin (With a Clinical Case Description)

We have described a clinical case of successful diagnosis and treatment in the inpatient setting of State Institution «432 State VKMC» in Minsk, a man aged 45 years with a diagnosis of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, who was in contact with a person who arrived from countries with a tropical climate.

The combined treatment program (a combination of anti-inflammatory therapy with glucocorticoids and antibacterial treatment) made it possible to significantly shorten the treatment period, reduce the intensity of exanthema and general intoxication syndrome.

The described clinical case illustrates that an integrated approach is needed to assess various types of skin lesions in people who temporarily lived in countries with a tropical climate or had contact with them, as a group at increased risk of contracting tropical infections and acute infectious diseases manifested by exanthema. This risk factor can contribute to outbreaks of infectious diseases in military personnel with atypical skin manifestations that require an interdisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment.
