Emergency cases in dermatology are rare but potentially life-threatening conditions. They comprise a broad spectrum of diseases which require immediate hospitalization or even intensive care. A rapid diagnosis and appropriate therapy is necessary since some of these emergency cases are associated with a high mortality and with severe disabling complications. Typical examples are: the bacterial infections Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome, necrotizing erysipelas and necrotizing fasciitis, as well as staphylococcal and streptococcal toxic shock syndromes. Another special emergency situation is venomous snake bites.
