Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Clinical Dermatology: Diagnosis and Management of Common Disorders, 2e AB - Within this chapter, we will explore a group of diseases in which the diagnosis and management (or triage), are a key task for clinicians in a variety of scenarios. The patients affected by these disorders span from infants to elders, and from healthy to immunosuppressed. Prompt recognition and therapeutic intervention are crucial for these disorders, in order to prevent or mitigate the significant potential morbidity (and in some cases, mortality). These conditions share mucocutaneous blistering or desquamation, and may demonstrate, especially early in course, overlapping clinical features with non-emergent exanthems; thus, particular attention will be paid to the historical and examination findings which best help distinguish these disorders from each other and from non-urgent diagnoses.
