Review Quotes:
This book provides dermatologists with diagnostic tips for recognizing potentially life-threatening skin diseases and potentially deadly medical conditions that may present with skin findings early in their course, The main strength of the book is that it makes readers aware of true emergencies that can occur with a given dermatologic condition. In the US, it is unusual to find a dermatologist who can manage critically ill patients as well as an intensivist, hospitalist, pulmonologist, or cardiologist. This book provides an overview of what can be needed for such critically ill patients that may present with skin involvement in addition to their multi system disease/failure.
