RESUMEN

Cutaneous disease in the tropical training environment will be of concern for the medical officer assigned to ensure the health of soldiers participating in training. A review of all "sick calls" recorded during deployment to the Jungle Operations Training Center at Fort Sherman, Panama showed that 50% of the medical complaints were dermatologically related. This should emphasize the need for medical officers to have significant dermatologic knowledge and appropriate supplies.
