CHAPTER 17 MAJOR VIRAL, BACTERIAL AND FUNGAL DISEASES OF HUMANS Infectious diseases of the skin General information Termsrelating to skin and infectious disease of the skin are as follows: • Epidermis. The superficial epithelial portion of the skin. • Dermis. The layer of skin containing blood and lymphatic vessels, nerves, and nerve endings, glands, and hair follicles. • Dermatitis. Inflammation of the skin • Sebaceous Glands. Glands in the dermis that usually open into hair follicles and secrete an oily substance known as sebum. • Folliculitis. Inflammation of a hair follicle, the sac that contains the hair. • Sty (stye). Inflammation of a sebaceous gland that opens Into a follicle of an eyelash. • Furuncle(boil). A localized pyogenic (pus producing) infection of the skin, usually resulting from folliculitis. • Carbuncle. A deep-seated pyogenic infection of the skin, usually arising from a coalescence of furuncle.
