Article Synopsis
- Dermatological emergencies account for 15% of emergency department consultations, with variations in prevalence between public (10.6%) and private (22.5%) health segments.
- The main reasons for these consultations include infectious diseases (35.5%), allergies (29.6%), and neoplastic conditions (8.6%), with a very small percentage leading to hospitalization (0.7%).
- A significant discrepancy in diagnosis accuracy was noted; 80.7% of patients evaluated by dermatologists had consistent diagnoses, compared to only 52.6% when seen by non-dermatologist physicians, highlighting the need for specialized dermatology care in emergencies.
