Buka's Emergencies in Dermatology
Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
978-1-4614-5030-6 (ISBN)
The term “dermatologic emergency” is rarely used, and a dermatologist is typically not the first physician called when a patient presents to the emergency department. However, largely under-recognized dermatoses can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated in a timely fashion. Buka’s Emergencies in Dermatology addresses the need for a concise, portable reference that can be used by emergency personnel, dermatologists and resident-physicians.
This text, heavily illustrated with color images, proves to be especially critical if a
community-based hospital does not have a dermatology department and the responsibility
for initial diagnosis falls to the emergency room or critical care physician. While the vast majority of cutaneous outbreaks are not life-threatening, those that are can go unrecognized with devastating consequences. Buka’s Emergencies in Dermatology addresses this concern and focuses on the most critical issues in cutaneous emergencies, from neonatal and pediatric emergencies, to infectious emergencies and drug eruptions. This book offers thorough coverage of emergencies in dermatology, from the basics of critical care for dermatologic emergencies, to neonatal and pediatric emergencies, infectious emergencies, drug eruptions and HIV-AIDS-related emergencies, among many others.

From the reviews:
“The book offers an outline for thinking about the differential diagnosis for serious skin diseases one would not want to miss. … The audience is emergency room physicians, dermatologists, and residents. … The color photographs are overall quite good quality. … The authors have compiled important dermatologic diseases that both dermatology residents and physicians who are not dermatologists need to be aware of. … It is a useful outline for nondermatologists and medical students and residents seeking an introduction to potential life-threatening skin conditions.” (Patricia Wong, Doody’s Book Reviews, May, 2013)
