Analysis of dermatology emergency consultations in a pediatric population: One-year retrospective audit from the largest Portuguese tertiary teaching hospital.

A retrospective study was conducted on pediatric patients examined via dermatology emergency consultation over 1 year. A total of 1352 diagnoses, including 100 distinct disorders, were recorded. Regardless of the diversity of skin conditions observed, a relatively small number of disorders were found repeatedly. We encourage education aimed at ED providers to focus on the diagnosis and management of the more commonly encountered disorders, including atopic dermatitis and infectious skin disorders.
