Dermatology: Dermatological Emergencies and Pharmacodermies

Dermatology · Clinical Specialties

How it begins

Análisis exhaustivo de las dermatosis potencialmente letales: enfermedades ampollosas autoinmunes, eritrodermia, vasculitis cutáneas, infecciones necrotizantes y el espectro completo de las reacciones adversas cutáneas a medicamentos (farmacodermias). Fisiopatología, diagnóstico diferencial, criterios de gravedad y protocolos de manejo de nivel UCI-dermatológica.
