Prevalence and Pattern of Dermatological Disorders in the Pediatric Emergency Service

Conclusions Our study revealed a high frequency and wide spectrum of dermatological disorders in the pediatric ER. Considering the high rate of undiagnosed cases, this study highlights the need to objectively measure physicians’ abilities to diagnose dermatological disorders. Identification of common and potentially dangerous disorders can aid in the development of educational resources for trainees and in the allocation of future resources for the treatment of common conditions.
