Publication AbstractsDermatologic Disease: Twenty-Two Year Experience at the USAF Aeromedical Consultation Service and Review of Other Military and Civilian ExperiencesMatthew R. Gee, M.D.Aviat Space Environ Med 2000; 71:230-7 AbstractThe Aeromedical Consultation Service (ACS) is a U.S. Air Force tertiary referral service which evaluates aviators with complex medical problems and makes recommendations for their aeromedical disposition. This study reports the experience with dermatologic disease in aviators referred to the ACS over a 22-yr period from 1975-1997. A review of other military and civilian experiences with dermatologic disease is also presented. The potential impact of skin disease on aviators and support personnel, in peacetime and wartime, can be surmised by this collective account of dermatologic experiences.Keywords: aerospace medicine, military medicine, dermatologic, skin, incidence, prevalence, epidemiology, prognosis, disability evaluation, risk.
