| الوصف: | Summary Background The pattern of dermatoses occurring in travellers to tropical areas is poorly documented. Objectives To diagnose skin diseases in travellers to Burkina Faso by means of teledermatology; to assess the educational value of teledermatology for the local general practitioner (GP). Methods Patients (Westerners and Burkinabese nationals) were included in the study if they presented with a cutaneous disease to the GP based in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Images of the skin lesions were acquired with a point-and-shoot digital camera and sent via the Internet, together with the clinical history. Diagnostic concordance between dermatologists in France and the GP in Ouagadougou was analysed as a simple proportion of agreement and 95% confidence interval. Results One hundred and twenty-four patients (M/F ratio 1·17; 80·6% Westerners) were included in the study. One hundred and thirty dermatoses were identified: 73 (56%) were of infectious origin, and 19 (15%) were related to eczematous dermatitis. The skin infections were mainly due to bacteria (18%), fungi (14%) or arthropods (13%). Parasitic dermatoses were observed only in Burkinabese nationals. Among Westerners, fungal dermatoses were observed only in long-term residents. The diagnostic agreement between the local GP and the remote dermatologists was 49% overall (95% confidence interval 41–58). Agreement between the GP and the dermatologists on the dermatological category improved significantly over time (P |
