title: [Life-threatening dermatoses].
abstract: In the present review an overview from a special angle of dermatologic practice is provided: dermatologic diseases that represent immediate danger for the patients' life. Diseases were included in this circle on the basis of their importance in general medical practice. This selection includes diseases from dermatologic oncology, pustular and erythrodermic forms of psoriasis, bacterial, allergic conditions, and STDs. Severe burns, autoimmune bullous skin diseases and classic immunologic conditions are also covered. Beside the general approach, novel therapeutic possibilities are discussed in significant details.
