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."Review Quotes: From the reviews: The book offers an outline for thinking about the differential diagnosis for serious skin diseases one would not want to miss.
