Summary:
The term “dermatologic emergency” israrely used, and a dermatologist is typicallynot the first physician called when apatient presents to the emergency department.However, largely under-recognizeddermatoses can be life-threatening if notdiagnosed and treated in a timely fashion.Buka’s Emergencies in Dermatology addressesthe need for a concise, portablereference that can be used by emergencypersonnel, dermatologists andresident-physicians.This text, heavily illustrated with colorimages, proves to be especially critical if acommunity-based hospital does not havea dermatology department and the responsibilityfor initial diagnosis falls to theemergency room or critical care physician.While the vast majority of cutaneousoutbreaks are not life-threatening, those that are can go unrecognized with devastating consequences.Buka’s Emergencies in Dermatology addressesthis concern and focuses on themost critical issues in cutaneous emergencies, fromneonatal and pediatric emergencies,to infectious emergencies and drug eruptions.
