Skin disease in British troops in the Bosnian winter
Abstract:
During the winter of 1995-1996, there took place a major deployment of North Atlantic Treaty Organization peacekeeping forces to Bosnia. Epidemiological surveillance of British troops through the ARRC-97 program has provided detailed information about their dermatological health. Skin disease was responsible for 12.7% of primary care consultations. Dry skin prove a common problem for troops. We recommend that emollients be placed on general issue during winter deployments to the Balkans. Dermatology should be included in pre-Bosnia training for all medical personnel.
