Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inflammatory and infectious dermatitis are strictly linked; it is well known that an infection may trigger or complicate an inflammatory skin condition. This is true for common infections and common skin diseases, such as Streptococcus beta haemolyticus and guttate psoriasis, but also for rare dermatosis such as Wells' syndrome that respiratory tract infections can trigger. This Special Issue aims to explore skin and mucous membrane infections that may determine inflammatory conditions involving the skin and other organs. We also aim to unravel the uncommon skin manifestation of viral and bacterial infections, focusing on atypical exanthem. The possible connection between systemic infections and immune deficits is another topic that deserves attention, as these are cutaneous and mucosal manifestations associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection.
