<\/span><\/h2>\nSpa pool folliculitis is also known as hot tub or hot tub folliculitis, or pseudomonas folliculitis. It is a skin condition that arises within a few hours to a few days after bathing in lukewarm water, for example in a spa pool, hot tub, or lukewarm pool. It can affect several people within 8 hours to 5 days of exposure. However, some exposed people do not develop the infection<\/span>.<\/p>\nA similar eruption<\/span> It can occur when wearing a wetsuit that has not been fully washed and dried after previous use. Pseudomonas folliculitis has also been reported in an industrial plant with a closed-loop water recycling system.<\/p>\nOn rare occasions, an aeromonas infection has been reported after bathing in a spa pool.<\/p>\n
<\/span>What are the symptoms of folliculitis in spa pools?<\/span><\/h2>\nSpa pool folliculitis is a eruption<\/span> scattered small red or itchy bumps, some of which are pustular<\/span>. They occur mainly in areas that were covered by the bathing suit.<\/p>\nSome people with folliculitis in the spa pool do not feel well. They may have an earache, sore throat, nausea and vomiting, headache and \/ or mild fever<\/span>.<\/p>\nSpa pool folliculitis rarely progresses to a more serious infection, ecthyma gangrenosum, in people who have a weak immune system, for example, those taking immunosuppressive medications.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What is the cause of folliculitis?<\/span><\/h2>\nSpa Pool Folliculitis Is Due To Chance bacterial<\/span> skin infection, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This can survive in warm water, even when properly chlorinated, due to a biofilm<\/span> on the surface of the bathtub or inside the plumbing system. Contamination is more common if the water is not properly treated or if organic material is present, such as skin.<\/p>\nConcern has been expressed that strains of bacteria<\/span> that have survived chlorination may be resistant to multiple drugs.<\/p>\n\n<\/span>Folliculitis in spa pools<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

<\/span>How is spa pool folliculitis diagnosed?<\/span><\/h3>\nThe diagnosis of folliculitis in spa pools is made clinically by observing a typical rash of papules<\/span> and pustules<\/span> in the trunk of a person who has bathed in a hot tub in recent days.<\/p>\nPseudomonas aeruginosa is isolated from the pustule swabs. Sensitivities to antibiotics should be reported as there are several isolates. Many of these are resistant to multiple antibiotics.<\/p>\n
<\/span>What is the treatment of folliculitis in spa pools?<\/span><\/h2>\nP. aeruginosa does not survive long on normal, healthy skin, so spa pool folliculitis usually resolves on its own within a few days.<\/p>\n
Mild cases of folliculitis in spa pools do not require treatment. Extensive or severe folliculitis in the spa pool due to pseudomonas infection can be treated with current<\/span> or systemic<\/span> Antibiotics active against Gram negative bacteria (Gram stain is used during microscopy<\/span> or cytology<\/span> of a skin swab), such as:<\/p>\n\n- Gentamicin cream<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
- Polymyxin B spray<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
- Oral ciprofloxacin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The responsible pool must be properly cleaned and disinfected with proper chlorination or other method.<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
