Özet

Background and Design: The definition of emergent diseases includes potentially risky diseases that need urgent medical intervention Diagnostic and therapeutic processes are managed mostly at outpatient setting in dermatology Therefore, it is unclear that which diseases are real emergencies and which patients apply urgently. There are a few studies assessing this topic. Our aim was to evaluate patients referred to our clinic urgently, and to review the concept of "real dermatologic emergency" by comparing dermatologic emergency patients and outpatients.
