  • Title: [Special emergencies in dermatology].
    Author: Neumann NJ, Hanneken S, Ruzicka T, Schulte KW.
    Journal: Hautarzt; 2004 Jun; 55(6):512-8. PubMed ID: 15133618.
    Abstract:
    Emergency cases in dermatology are rare but potentially life-threatening conditions. They comprise a broad spectrum of diseases which require immediate hospitalization or even intensive care. A rapid diagnosis and appropriate therapy is necessary since some of these emergency cases are associated with a high mortality and with severe disabling complications. Typical examples are: the bacterial infections Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome, necrotizing erysipelas and necrotizing fasciitis, as well as staphylococcal and streptococcal toxic shock syndromes. Another special emergency situation is venomous snake bites.
